Bredesen Names Pat Miller To Senior Staff 11/19/2007 Governor Phil Bredesen has named Pat Miller to fill the post of Senior Advisor and Director of Legislative Affairs. Miller has served as a director of the Tennessee Regulatory Authority since 2002. In his new role, Miller will help develop the Governor’s legislative agenda and serve as his chief liaison to the General Assembly. “Pat Miller brings to this position both a breadth of experience in working with the legislature and the high regard of the members of the General Assembly,” said Bredesen. “He will be a valuable addition to my senior staff and an excellent leader for our legislative team.” Prior to his appointment to the TRA, Miller was chief of staff to Senate Speaker and Lieutenant Governor John Wilder. He served the Tennessee legislature in 1987 as a fiscal analyst for the Fiscal Review Committee and was legislative liaison for the Tennessee Supreme Court from 1993 to 1997. “It’s an honor to have this opportunity to work with Governor Bredesen and other members of the administration to advance his goals in areas fundamental to the success of our state like education and economic development,” said Miller. “I also look forward to once again working with the members of the General Assembly to reach those goals.” Miller, a Nashville native, earned a bachelor of arts degree in political science from the University of Tennessee in 1983 and received his doctor of jurisprudence in 1988 from the Nashville School of Law.
