Suzanne Miles
Farm kid, family business
In the late 1950s, Suzanne's father and grandfather started selling seed off their back porch. That venture grew into Miles Farm Supply. At age 4, Suzanne was already counting quarters from the Pepsi machine at her family's farm supply store, and she kept working there after school and every summer through Apollo High School. She grew up farming in Western Kentucky, and Daviess County has been home ever since.
A small-business owner first
After graduating from Transylvania University, Suzanne bought a small business, a women's clothing store in Owensboro called Town & Countrywear, running it for 16 years. She knows firsthand what it takes to make payroll and keep the doors open.
Cutting through red tape
In 2009, Suzanne went to work for Congressman Brett Guthrie, helping constituents solve problems with federal agencies. She still calls it the most fulfilling work she's done.
Leading in Frankfort
Voters sent Suzanne to Frankfort in a 2013 special election. In 2018, her colleagues elected her House Majority Caucus Chair, making her the first woman to hold a leadership role in the Kentucky House Republican caucus. They've re-elected her to that post every term since. Now, she's in Kentucky House Republican leadership, delivering real results for Daviess County.
Bringing home results
She's lowering taxes and lowering costs so Kentuckians keep more of their hard-earned money. She secured $1.3 million to land new jobs at the Owensboro Riverport, and $38 million to establish a healthcare workforce training center in Owensboro. Today, HealthForce Kentucky prepares the nurses and care workers our region needs. In 2026, she went further, adding a University of Kentucky study on how HealthForce can help close our shortage of doctors and clinicians. And she's protecting our kids, cracking down on human trafficking with two laws that passed without a single "no" vote.
Still showing up
A member of Panther Creek Baptist Church, Suzanne still lives by what she learned on the farm and behind the counter: work hard, treat people fairly, and keep standing up for us year after year.
