GCRW welcomes Sid Miller, the 12th Commissioner of the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA). He has devoted his life to promoting Texas agriculture, rural communities and the great state of Texas.
An eighth-generation farmer and rancher, Sid Miller has devoted his life to promoting Texas agriculture, rural communities and the great state of Texas. Commissioner Miller is also a businessman who breeds and trains American Quarter Horses. In his spare time, he is a recognized rodeo cowboy who holds 20 world championship titles.

About Sid Miller:
Born in De Leon, in Comanche County, in September 1955, Sid Miller graduated with honors from Tarleton State University in Stephenville with a Bachelor of Science degree in Vocational Ag Education.
A recognized community leader, Miller was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2000. He quickly earned a reputation as a staunch defender of Texas agriculture, constitutional freedoms and individual liberties for all Texans.
He was elected statewide as the 12th Texas Agriculture Commissioner in 2014 and re-elected to his second term in office in 2018.
Since taking office as Agriculture Commissioner, Commissioner Miller has brought real, common sense reform to TDA. Within six months in office, he eliminated a two-and-a-half-year backlog in organic certifications. He reshaped field operations to maximize efficiency for Texas taxpayers. This included increasing the number of consumer protection inspections by as much as 183 percent while slashing the miles traveled by TDA inspectors by more than half a million miles a year.
Commissioner Miller also launched Operation Maverick, a consumer protection initiative to round up businesses which failed to register their commercial scales with TDA. Registrations have increased 35 percent, and more than 2,000 previously unregistered businesses are now monitored by TDA to ensure consumers are protected.
A former ag teacher and school board member, Commissioner Miller is committed to fighting childhood obesity and promoting healthy lifestyles for Texas schoolchildren. His creation of Farm Fresh Fridays and other farm-to-school initiatives resulted in a $14 million increase in the amount of Texas products purchased by schools. Commissioner Miller is also passionate about ensuring rural communities have the water and infrastructure they need to thrive. To that end, he created TDA’s Office of Water to ensure all Texans have access to clean water for today and future generations. Additionally, under his guidance, TDA has directed hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding through the Texas Community Development Block Grant program to local communities for infrastructure improvements and repairs.
Commissioner Miller is the state’s leading advocate around the world for Texas agriculture, Texas-grown products and Texas-owned businesses. He oversees TDA’s world-renowned GO TEXAN program — a marketing effort to showcase the best products, companies and communities that call the Lone Star State home. Since taking office, Commissioner Miller’s passion to increase market exposure for Texas agriculture has led him and his staff to mount trade missions to Cuba, Ecuador, Argentina, Israel, China and every continent on the globe, except Antarctica.
Commissioner Miller is a businessman who breeds and trains American Quarter Horses. In his spare time, he is a recognized rodeo cowboy who holds 12 world championship titles.
He and his wife, Debra, have been married for going on 40 years. They have two sons, two daughters-in-law and five grandchildren. They are active members of the Cowboy Church of Erath County, where Commissioner Miller also serves as an elder.

Paul Slough grew up in a small town in West Texas. He joined the army straight out of high school to serve his country, see the world and earn a college education.
While serving with the National Guard, he participated in many security operations including convoy support. During a particularly difficult and confusing attack, Paul earned his Combat Infantryman Badge for refraining from firing his weapon due to the threat of civilian casualties, but also ensuring that all team members escaped the attack unharmed. Paul was given a field promotion to Sergeant on this deployment and left the military honorably in 2007.
Paul is one of the “Biden Four”; arrested, imprisoned, then granted a full pardon by President Trump. He will be speaking about his experiences in the war zone, what followed and how he was sustained by faith.
Paul is described by his co-workers and supervisors as a man of good judgment and integrity. Many have come forward to write letters of support on his behalf and attest to his strength of character and his deep and abiding faith. Just moments after the guilty verdicts were read, he sent a message via his lawyer to his wife… “Keep the faith.” We’ve adopted this message as the battle cry of this fight for these men’s lives. #KEEPTHEFAITH

Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis and his staff of 140 work hard seeking justice every day so that you and your families can pursue your dreams and enjoy your lives.
Twice honored as a Texas SuperLawyer®, DA Willis is also a statewide leader in criminal justice, and starting next year will serve as the President-Elect of the Texas elected prosecutor association (TDCAA).
DA Willis has also been recognized locally for his leadership in seeking justice. For making child predators face the consequences of their actions, he was awarded the Child Advocate of the Year. For his leadership in bringing different groups together to support domestic violence victims and hold their abusers to account, he received the Junior League Bridge Builder Award and the Community Legacy Award.
For his leadership in the prosecution of a terrorist intent on killing Stonebriar Mall patrons, The International Association of Chiefs of Police awarded him their “Leadership in the Prevention of Terrorism Award.”
For his leadership in the fight against drug dealers and also for getting addicts the help they need, DA Willis was selected as the only Texas Prosecutor for the National Opioids Task Force. He now has developed the first-in-Texas District Attorney-Led Opioid Treatment Diversion Program right here in Collin County.
To not just protect but also transform our community, DA Willis created the groundbreaking diversion initiative “Burden to Blessing.” This opportunity gives nonviolent offenders a second chance to wipe their slate clean and acquire life and job skills for an even brighter future. He also partners with drug, mental health, and veterans courts to help get offenders back on their feet.
Willis has served as President of the Collin County Bar Association, as a Life Fellow of the Texas Bar Foundation, and as a Rotarian for 20+ years. He also serves on the Board of Directors for the Children’s Advocacy Center of Collin County, where he chairs the Partners Committee.
He was inducted into the prestigious Texas Prosecutor Society, and has excelled in all four corners of our criminal justice system – as an assistant district attorney, defense attorney, judge, and for the past 12 years as the elected District Attorney. He serves on the Advisory Board of the Texas Association of Counties (TAC) Leadership Program.
DA Willis is a 5th generation Texan. He’s a graduate of Baylor University and the University of Virginia School of Law. He and his wife of 27 years, the lovely Jill Willis, are proud parents of a son, a senior at Texas A&M, and a daughter, a junior at UNT. Both kids have kept their parents forever on their toes, and often, on their knees.
