Joseph Wayne Miller (born May 10, 1967) is an American attorney and politician. Miller rose to national prominence as the Republican Party nominee and the Tea Party favorite in the 2010 U.S.
Senate election in Alaska.

Before running for the Senate, Miller worked as an attorney in private general practice, a local government attorney, and a U.S.
magistrate judge assisting the Alaska federal district court with its caseload.

Military Academy at West Point.

Miller sought the Republican nomination to challenge incumbent Democratic Senator Mark Begich in 2014, but was defeated by Dan Sullivan in the Republican primary.Cean Stevens, the Libertarian party primary winner, stepped aside to allow Miller to receive the Libertarian nomination, so that Miller could run in the crowded 2016 Senate election.
He placed second in the general election, receiving just under 30% of the vote.
