Stephen Miller is one of the original and leading voices, thinkers and strategists of the America First Movement. He is consulted regularly by Members of Congress and state and local leaders, appears routinely on television and radio, and is now building the next chapter for the movement to ensure the future is written by America First.
Growing up in Los Angeles, Stephen Miller got his start in politics during high school, regularly appearing on talk radio to expose radical indoctrination in the classroom.
From there, Miller went to Duke University, where he led a chapter of Students for Academic Freedom, served as the Executive Director of the Duke Conservative Union, organized for Young America's Foundation, and wrote as a columnist for the Duke Chronicle. He was one of the earliest voices, in print and on television, warning against a rush to judgement in the Duke Lacrosse case.
After college, Miller went to Capitol Hill, serving as a senior aide to Congressional Republicans, including as a top GOP staffer on both the Senate Judiciary and Senate Budget Committees. He was instrumental in defeating President Obama's amnesty drive in 2013 and 2014, and forging the framework for a new conservative populism that prioritizes America's own citizens.
Miller was an early supporter of then-candidate Donald Trump, swiftly joining the historic Trump Campaign as a Senior Policy Advisor - and soon becoming a core, valued and trusted aide to the future President. From this post, he oversaw the development of the campaign's policy platforms, including on taxes, energy, inner city revitalization, and foreign affairs.
Following President Trump's extraordinary victory and precedent-shattering upset, Miller served as the National Policy Director for the presidential transition and worked on many of the new Administration's key executive orders and actions.
During President Trump's first term, Miller served as Senior Advisor to the President for Policy. In that role, he advised the president on major domestic and national issues, including immigration, trade, education, public safety, the economy, and homeland security. He played a central role in the administration's efforts to secure the southern border and reform America's immigration system.
Following the conclusion of the first Trump Administration, Miller co-founded America First Legal, where he worked to advance constitutional governance, individual liberty, and the America First agenda through the courts.
Upon President Trump's return to office in January 2025, Miller rejoined the White House as Assistant to the President, Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, and Homeland Security Advisor. In these roles, he helps shape and implement the administration's domestic and national security agenda.
Few people are in a better position to discuss the policies, priorities, and achievements of the Trump Administration, as well as the future of the America First movement.
Whether discussing immigration, national security, the rule of law, or America's role in the world, Stephen Miller remains one of the most influential voices in modern conservative politics.
