Allegheny County state Rep. Dan Miller (D) launches campaign for common pleas court seat

State Rep. Dan Miller (D-Allegheny) announced Wednesday that he is running for one of seven openings next year on the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas.

Miller, who has represented the 42nd Legislative District since 2013, told the Capital-Star he does not plan to resign while campaigning and will remain “very active” as a lawmaker. Democrats will hold a one-seat majority in the House when the new session begins in January.

Miller said Wednesday that the issues he has focused on in the legislature and as a lawyer – disability, education and mental health – are intersectional issues for the courts. Miller has served as a member of the House judiciary, labor and human services committees. He was a member of the House Democratic leadership team as whip during the most recent session.

Before his election to the House, Miller worked as a public defender and as a county solicitor.
