The Clark County Republican Party recognized Chuck and Anna Miller for a lifetime of volunteer service. At the party’s July 14 Lincoln Day Dinner, the Miller’s were surprised with a “Lifetime Achievement” award.
“The Millers have been pillars in the Clark County Republican Party for decades,” stated Chairman Matt Bumala. “Their servant hood is second to none and we are all blessed to have them in our lives.”
Following the event, Anna shared the following words of gratitude.
“Chuck and I want to thank the Clark County Republican Party from the bottom of our hearts for honoring us with the 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award at last night’s fabulous Lincoln Day Dinner. It was a huge surprise, and we were both a sloppy mess (tears, lol). A very emotional look back on over 30 years (more years to go if the Lord is willing) of working with God Centered conservatives. Thank you.”
Chuck and Anna have been married for 42 years, raised two daughters and have four grandchildren.
Chuck retired after 31 years as a transit supervisor. Anna retired after 30 years of working in the stock brokerage business. She held a Series 7 stockbroker’s license and served as an operations manager and later as the executive assistant to the Northwest Regional Manager. Anna then went on to work for Clark County Commissioner David Madore for four years as his executive assistant.
“Chuck and Anna have been dear friends for many years,” said David Madore, who is also the founder and owner of Clark County Today. “They are the hardest workers and wise committed patriots. They are constantly sacrificing to serve others as long as I’ve known them.
“An example of their sacrifice, after they worked so hard on multiple campaigns including mine, they hoped to take a break and travel around the US in an RV,” Madore said. “But after I was elected as county commissioner, they put that dream on hold so Anna could help me serve our community. Instead of taking a break, Anna showed up every day as my wonderful assistant to accomplish so much to bless us all.”
Politically, Anna has worn many hats; Clark County Republican Party (CCRP) chair and state committeewoman. She has managed over a dozen political campaigns. In 2018 Anna was awarded the Clark County Republican Women Lifetime Achievement Award. She has chaired dozens of political committees and been the party’s office manager four times. Anna and Chuck have worked side by side for over three decades to champion conservative and God centered candidates for office.
Anna has served on the Clark County Republican Women’s Board of Directors for six years. She currently serves as their membership chairman.
In November 2016, CCRP Chairman Kenny Smith presented the Miller’s with an award. It read: “In recognition of your many years of generous service to the Clark County Republican Party and your ability to develop honorable leaders for the community”.
“I first met Anna in about 2017, but before I met her, I knew about her,” said Liz Cline, president of the Clark County Republican Women. “She was and is a legend in Clark County Republican circles, and I held her in awe. She has given a virtual lifetime of selfless conservative service and worn many hats, many of which were key leadership roles. She is a valued member of the Clark County Republican Women and someone I rely upon greatly. She is caring, compassionate, funny, and wicked smart.
“Chuck Miller is legendary in his own right as one of the master campaign sign men in the Clark County Republican Party,’’ Cline added. “Many past elected officials owe their thanks to his dedicated support. He matches Anna in the caring, compassion, and God-centered departments. I am thankful to call Chuck and Anna Miller my dear friends.”
