The 57-year-old Democrat was on the Lieutenant Governor ticket along with Wes Moore, who has also set a record by becoming Maryland’s first Black Governor.

Born in Hyderabad on November 6, 1964, Miller’s family immigrated to the United States when she was seven-years-old. She grew up in New York and has a BS degree in civil engineering from the Missouri University of Science and Technology. Miller became a US citizen in 2000.

Her political career can be traced back to the 90s, when she worked as a transportation engineer for local governments in California, Hawaii and Virginia. She moved to Maryland in 1990, where she worked with the Montgomery Council Department of Transportation.

Criticism

Miller’s path to victory has been paved with many hurdles, including allegations that she had courted Hindu nationalists for over a decade. While Miller has denied these claims, her critics say her donor records and public statements over the years point to her ties to Hindutva.

Last month, Moore and Miller sparked a controversy when they were found in a fundraising platform run by Hindu right-wing groups.
