A former National Political Director for the US Chamber of Commerce and government lobbyist for leading Fortune 500 companies in Washington, Miller is well versed in leveraging the unique skills of industry leaders with the needs of both local and state governments. “By-and-large I’ve been a guy that’s had to work down the middle figuringouthowtosolveproblems.” 「總的來說，我一直都是一個不得不在中間 地帶工作的人，要想辦法解決問題。」 In a sit-down interview with Inside Asian Gaming during a recent visit to Macau, the AGA boss explained just how beneficial that Capitol Hill experience will be given the issues facing American operators looking to expand their Asian interests. “I was Chief of Staff to a member of Congress who represented the Washington DC suburbs and while she was a Republican, she sat in a district that was very Democrat, so I think by-and-large I’ve been a guy that’s had to work down the middle figuring out how to solve problems,” Miller explains.
