Kenneth P. Miller (born September 21, 1963) is a professor of Government at Claremont McKenna College, specializing in state politics, policy, and law.
In 2020, he was named the Don H. and Edessa Rose Associate Professor of State and Local Government at Claremont McKenna College.
His book Direct Democracy and the Courts (Cambridge 2009) analyzes the initiative process within the checks and balances system, and has been called “the standard work on the relationship between the judiciary and direct democracy.”[6] Other works include Parchment Barriers: Political Polarization and the Limits of Constitutional Order (Kansas 2018) (co-edited with Zachary Courser and Eric Helland) and The New Political Geography of California (Berkeley Public Policy Press 2008) co-edited with Frederick Douzet and Thad Kousser.
[8] Its mission is “to enhance the education of students at CMC, to produce high quality research, and to promote public understanding on issues of state and local government, politics, and policy, with an emphasis on California.”[9] As part of his work for the Rose Institute, Miller has helped introduced new projects and areas of research.
"[11] Miller has also worked with Claremont McKenna College Government Professor J. Andrew Sinclair to expand the Rose Institute’s polling program.
The poll produced two reports: Red vs. Blue States: Competing Visions for 2022 and 2024 and Battleground Pennsylvania: The 2022 Midterm Election.
Miller cited support for same-sex marriage rights by media organizations, unions, corporations, the Democratic Party, and California's leading elected officials (including the governor at the time, Arnold Schwarzenegger).
