January 13, 2014

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Eric Swalwell (CA-15) released the following statement after Congressman George Miller (CA-11) announced that he will retire from the House of Representatives at the end of this term:

"Congressman George Miller has been a champion for working families, students, and Bay Area residents for 40 years, and he will be sorely missed in the House of Representatives. He is a true public servant. The policies he spearheaded, from raising the minimum wage to protecting student borrowers to defending our natural resources, have improved the lives of countless Americans across the country.

"As a fellow Bay Area representative, I cannot thank George enough for his mentorship, support, and guidance this year. We are lucky to have had a dedicated leader like George Miller, and I wish him and his family the very best during this next chapter of their lives."
