Jeff Miller Backs Neal Dunn to Take on Gwen Graham

U.S. Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., threw his support to Panama City physician Dr. Neal Dunn in the Republican primary to challenge U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham, D-Fla., in November. 

“North Florida needs a conservative who is committed to serving our veterans, shrinking the size and scope of the federal government and safeguarding our Second Amendment rights,” Miller said. “Neal Dunn shares the same conservative values as many of us in our community, and he has demonstrated a commitment to the ideals and principles of the Founding Fathers. I believe his background as a veteran and surgeon makes him uniquely qualified to represent the Second District of Florida in Congress.”
 
“Congressman Miller is a staunch advocate for veterans issues; and, as a veteran, I applaud his dedication, as well as his accomplishments,” Dunn said. “Congressman Miller and I also agree that our current tax system impedes economic growth, and we must do all that we can to encourage small business growth, and reduce and remove excessive and burdensome government regulations. With Congressman Miller’s support, I look forward to continuing to spread our conservative message in Congressional District 2 and fighting for a better North Florida.”

Miller, the chairman of the U.S. House Veterans Affairs Committee, is stepping down this year. Dunn faces businessman Jeff Moran, former U.S. Attorney Ken Sukhai and Tallahassee attorney Mary Thomas in the Republican primary.
