Oak Ridge Mayor Pro Tem Jane Miller Endorses Smith

OAK RIDGE, MAY 19 – Third District Congressional Candidate Robin Smith today received the endorsement of Oak Ridge Mayor Pro Tem Jane Miller. Serving on the Oak Ridge City Council since 2003, Miller was elected Mayor Pro Tem by her colleagues in 2007. She has been a leader in government and the community, lending her support to numerous area charities.

“Over the past several months, I have closely watched all of the candidates who are asking for our support,” Miller said. “I can say without question, Robin Smith has stood apart as the lone candidate showing unwavering commitment to all eleven counties of the Third District. She has been actively engaged with the Oak Ridge and Anderson county business communities. Robin has already established herself as a member and regular participant in the meetings of the East Tennessee Economic Council. She has worked with us on legislation that impacts both the Oak Ridge National Laboratories and Y-12 facilities in the State Legislature. If she can have a positive impact on the issues facing our community before she’s elected, I am convinced she will get results for Oak Ridge in Washington. She has already demonstrated her commitment to Anderson County in her work with us and she will again next week as she joins economic leaders from across the area to discuss issues important to Oak Ridge at the Tennessee Valley Corridor National Technology Summit in Washington, D.C.”

Smith thanked Miller for her endorsement and noted the importance she has placed on representing the entire district. “Jane Miller has been a leader in the Oak Ridge community for years and she is the type of partner I will need when I go to Washington. Jane always puts Oak Ridge first and is respected throughout the area,” Smith said.
