Born and raised right here in Lancaster, Marshall Miller learned the value of hard work and community from an early age. He shared a home with seven brothers and sisters, his large family getting by solely on their father’s income as a nurse at LGH. 

Throughout his grade school years, Marshall and his family relied on affordable educational opportunities and entertainment at the Lancaster Public Library and the Lancaster County Environmental Center. 

When he was in elementary school, a new Director of Parks and Recreation attempted to fire a beloved local environmentalist his family often went to for affordable educational programs.

Marshall’s community sprang into action. His mother rallied the local moms, and together they marched their families down to the County Commissioners meeting and successfully advocated to save the environmentalist’s job.

This was the first time Marshall learned that the government can–and should–work for us. 

Later, Marshall experienced firsthand the impact of government working for him. With the support of state and federal financial aid, he earned a bachelor’s degree.

Because the system worked for him, he was able to embark on a career. Now, he’s committed to making sure the system works for his community too.

Marshall has dedicated the past five years to organizing in Pennsylvania to elect leaders who listen to us.

He spent the last two years rebuilding Lancaster City’s Democratic Party, helping elect strong leaders like State Representatives Izzy Smith-Wade-El and Nikki Rivera, County Commissioner Alice Yoder, and City Councilors Jaime Arroyo and Amanda Bakay — leaders who fight for affordable housing, critical social support services, and our health. 

He helped end our reliance on harmful property taxes by mobilizing the local Democratic Party to win a new Home Rule Charter, strengthening Lancaster City by giving us more local control.

Not stopping there, Marshall took the fight for our community to the state level. In 2024, he worked as a Local Press Specialist for the Pennsylvania House Democrats, joining Democrats in protecting their one-seat majority in the PA House of Representatives and ensuring the continuation of people-focused policies in our state.

In Lancaster City, he has knocked on thousands of doors and talked with residents face to face in every neighborhood. What he learned is that most people want the same thing.

They want a government that works for them. That means a government that delivers critical services while making life more affordable for regular people. It means putting residents first and answering the call when they raise concerns about parking tickets, high property taxes, and rents. 

Marshall believes in tackling real problems. He’ll find solutions to make life easier and more affordable for city residents.

As your City Councilor, Marshall will work for you.
