Miller&#8217;s motivation is simple: \u00a0A guaranteed salary of over $154,000.00 per year plus all the benefits. \u00a0All of Miller&#8217;s altruistic blather over serving his constituents was just that: \u00a0Blather. \u00a0Most if not all of his legislation benefitted the police (former employer) and real estate issues (current occupation.) \u00a0Does Miller believe he &#8220;deserves&#8221; to be Clerk? \u00a0Of course, he does. \u00a0He believes he should be rewarded with this salary. \u00a0How galling that when Miller loses, he will run again for Delegate as his back-up plan. \u00a0It&#8217;s disturbing but not surprising given his history.<\/p>\n<p>So Hal Parrish (Hal Pal) has filed to run in the June Republican Primary against Miller. \u00a0The Machiavellian GOP plan: \u00a0Jackson beats Jacqueline. \u00a0Hal Pal runs for Delegate. \u00a0He thinks he will win, exit the Mayor&#8217;s position leaving the City Council with 3 Democrats and 3 Republicans. \u00a0Interesting situation. \u00a0But good for the Democrats. \u00a0But if Miller loses (hopefully) will Hal Pal and Miller run against each other in the Primary giving Hal Pal an opportunity to fill his father&#8217;s former seat? \u00a0But regardless of the GOP candidate, Democrat Lee Carter will be the next Delegate.<\/p>\n<p>Miller has a bottomless pit of money to support his campaign(s) to the point that he can run ads on Fox TV. \u00a0(Perfect channel for Miller the Trump sycophant.) \u00a0Typical Miller: \u00a0He loves to bully and like Trump, he has the money to do it, but albeit not the ability or temperament to handle the clerk&#8217;s office. \u00a0Frankly, I would not trust Miller to be objective if it came to handling my interactions with the office.<\/p>\n<p>But Jacqueline knows the clerk&#8217;s office as an attorney and citizen. \u00a0She even recognized that there is a 30% turnover rate in the office. \u00a0She understands the office&#8217;s process in all areas of the Courthouse, not just in the land records office that Miller boasts about. \u00a0She knows the staff. \u00a0And she has plans on how to improve every aspect of the office and the services to the public. Miller is an empty suit with one goal: More Money for Miller. \u00a0That&#8217;s the candidate MMM. \u00a0MORE MONEY MILLER.<\/p>\n<p>VOTE FOR JACQUELINE AND TAKE THE POLITICS OUT OF THE CLERK&#8217;S OFFICE.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On April 18, 2017, we will see the victory of Jacqueline Smith over Jackson Miller to be the Prince William County Clerk of the Court. \u00a0Jacqueline is running as someone who has experience with the clerk&#8217;s office and clearly recognizes the strengths and weaknesses of the office.
