Assembly Democrats announced that Assemblyman Cameron “C.H.” Miller resigned from his legislative post on Friday, October 20.
“Assemblyman Miller is a dedicated and thoughtful public servant and his presence will certainly be missed in the Nevada Assembly,” Speaker Steve Yeager said in a statement.
Miller, who was assistant majority leader in the 2023 session, has been in Nevada politics since his election in 2020. The North Las Vegas Democrat cited his relocation outside of Assembly District 7 as the reason for his resignation.
Miller was the focus of conflict of interest accusations after voting for legislation to give $100,000 to the Urban Chamber Community Development Corporation, where he serves as CEO. While he abstained from a committee vote on the legislation, he later voted for the bill after receiving clearance from legislative attorneys.
Miller is also a member of the Clark County Economic Opportunity Board, a regional agency focused on poverty in Southern Nevada. The agency also received $100,000 in funding.
Miller did not disclose that relationship, saying his focus “at the time was my employment relationship with the [Urban Chamber] and not so much the board relationship.”
Despite stepping down from his current position, Miller has set his sights on a future in public office. A party spokesperson confirmed his intention to run for Las Vegas City Council.
Assembly members Michelle Gorelow, Lesley Cohen, Sabra Newby, Clara “Claire” Thomas, and Angie Taylor have each announced that they will not seek reelection in 2024 for their respective Assembly seats.
