On the issues

The following positions are drawn from Miller's responses provided through BallotReady. Her campaign website includes additional detail.

Consumer protection and the economy: Miller said she would use the attorney general's antitrust authority to ensure competitive markets and lower prices. She said she would launch investigations into the grocery supply chain to uncover illegal price gouging.

Energy and utility costs: Miller said she would challenge what she called unfair and unjustified rate hikes from power and utility monopolies and represent ratepayers before the Public Service Commission.

Criminal justice and public safety: Miller said she would target violent criminal networks, human trafficking rings and the trafficking of illegal guns and drugs such as fentanyl. She said she would prioritize prosecuting crimes against children and domestic violence, protect seniors from elder fraud and aggressively pursue robocall operations and identity thieves.

Voting rights: Miller said she would advocate for full access to voting, including protecting weekend and early voting, expanding mail-in voting and securing convenient drop box locations.

Healthcare: Miller said she would fight to expand Medicaid and increase access to prenatal and postpartum care. She also said she would work to ensure Georgians who are incarcerated or on parole are not left out of healthcare access discussions.

The attorney general can enforce applicable laws, represent the state and pursue litigation within the office’s authority. Changes to taxes, public benefits or school funding generally require legislation and budget decisions; the attorney general cannot enact them alone.
