He also voted YES on SB 1 (2026), tightening Medicaid and SNAP eligibility rules (Source 9). The Freedom Index assigns him a 55% cumulative score, indicating mixed but majority-aligned voting on fiscal matters (Source 4).

Pro-life issues

Strong support

The Indiana Family Institute 2025 Scorecard awarded Miller 100%, recording YES votes on HB 1041 (Save Women's College Sports), SB 143 (Parental Rights), and SB 289 (DEI prohibition) (Source 3). SB 236 (2026) did not receive a House floor vote, so no individual House member vote is on record (Source 10).

The IFI 2025 Scorecard gave Miller 100% across all seven tracked bills, including SB 143 (Parental Rights as a fundamental right), SB 289 (DEI prohibition in education), and HB 1041 (Save Women's College Sports) (Source 3).
