Just a few months after announcing his intention to become the Senate majority leader in the Georgia General Assembly next year, Butch Miller, R-Gainesville, is now switching his focus to a higher position in the halls of the state legislature. Miller told The Times on Tuesday he is running to unseat Senate President Pro Tempore David Shafer of Duluth. If successful, Miller would become the highest-ranking elected state senator.
