Van Hollen Statement on Senator Mike Miller's Decision to Step Down as Maryland Senate President

Today, U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) released the following statement regarding Senator Mike Miller’s announcement that he will step down as the President of the Maryland Senate:

"I saw my dear friend Mike Miller last night at the Morgan State tribute to Elijah Cummings. Mike insisted that the doctors let him out of the hospital to eulogize Elijah. That’s Mike. Always there for friends; always there for Maryland.

“Mike Miller has dedicated his life to serving Marylanders and set the gold standard for true leadership in the State Senate. I was proud to serve under him, and to this day appreciate his mentorship and wisdom. His guiding hand will be missed, but I'm confident that Bill Ferguson will serve our state well."
