{"biography":"Charles William \"Charlie\" Miller is the incumbent Republican member of the North Carolina House of Representatives for District 19, which covers parts of Brunswick and New Hanover counties.  As a state representative, he is responsible for introducing and voting on legislation, serving on committees that shape policy, and representing the interests of his constituents in the General Assembly.  He is seeking re\u2011election in the November\u202f3,\u202f2026 general election for the same seat, after the Republican primary was cancelled and he advanced automatically to the ballot [1].\n\nMiller graduated from South Brunswick High School in 1984 and earned a degree in basic law enforcement from Cape Fear Community College.  His professional background spans law\u2011enforcement, business, and energy security.  He served as chief deputy of the Brunswick County Sheriff\u2019s Office, worked as a nuclear security specialist at the Progress Energy Nuclear Plant, and held senior sales and executive roles at BEST Uniforms Inc. and Brunswick Embroidery & Screenprinting.  He is also a member of the Pythagoras Masonic Lodge #249.  Prior to his state\u2011legislative career, Miller served on the Brunswick County School Board, giving him experience in local education governance [16].\n\nMiller was first elected to the North Carolina House in the 2020 cycle, assuming office on January\u202f1,\u202f2021 when the newly created District\u202f19 began representation.  He was re\u2011elected in 2022 and again in 2024, defeating Democratic challenger Jill Brown with 61.5% of the vote (41,266 votes) [1].  In the 2026 race he faces Democrat Scott\u202fNasiff, who advanced unopposed after the Democratic primary was cancelled [1].\n\nDuring his tenure, Miller has held several key committee assignments.  In the 2023\u20112024 session he served as Vice Chair of the Appropriations Committee, Chair of the House Appropriations on Justice and Public Safety Committee, Vice Chair of the Energy and Public Utilities Committee, Vice Chair of the Judiciary\u202fII Committee, and Vice Chair of the Marine Resources and Aqua Culture Committee, among others [1].  In the 2021\u20112022 session he was Vice Chair of the Energy and Public Utilities Committee and the Judiciary\u202fIII Committee, and served on Education\u2011K\u201112, Transportation, and Appropriations committees [1].  His leadership roles on appropriations and justice\u2011related committees reflect a focus on fiscal responsibility and public safety.\n\nMiller has sponsored a range of legislation, though the Ballotpedia entry notes that the list may not be comprehensive.  His sponsored bills have addressed issues such as criminal justice, energy policy, and local government matters, aligning with his committee work and professional expertise [1].  He continues to advocate for policies that support law\u2011enforcement, economic development, and infrastructure improvements in his district.\n\nMiller\u2019s official legislative office is located at 300\u202fN. Salisbury Street, Room\u202f417B, Raleigh, NC\u202f27603\u20115925.  The North Carolina General Assembly biography lists his occupation as Chief Deputy \u2013 Brunswick County Sheriff\u2019s Office and provides a legislative email address (redacted in the source) and a phone number field that was not populated in the public record [10].\n\n## Sources\n- [1] [Charles Miller (North Carolina) - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/Charles_Miller_(North_Carolina))\n- [10] [Representative Charles W.
