Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr., pillar of Maryland's state capital for decades, dies at 78

For decades, he was the man to see in Maryland’s state capital, a country-boy Democrat who rose to the heights of power in the General Assembly and used his commanding influence to direct politics and policy across the state.

Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr., the nation’s longest-serving state-senate president and a pillar of Maryland government for nearly a half-century, died Jan. 15 at his home in Chesapeake Beach, Md. He was 78. The cause was complications from prostate cancer, said family spokesman Jake Weissmann.'>>>

from Jamie Raskin:

'Condolences and love to the beautiful family of Mike Miller, who we lost today. As I worked with him in the Senate for ten years, Mike taught me about Maryland history, parliamentary procedure and how to keep growing as a leader. He made me laugh every day.'
