Miller has led Cook County in efforts to understand disparities within the local criminal legal system and support programs, practices, funding and policies to advance racial equity. The county’s continued commitment helps improve outcomes for all community members, enhance public safety and ensure all residents have an opportunity to thrive, she said.

As a participant of the CORE Justice Network, Miller will engage with fellow elected officials from across the country who are building similar efforts in their jurisdictions. She will engage with peers, including in-person peer exchanges to communities with model practices and policies, and participate in virtual technical assistance opportunities with subject matter experts.
