John J. Miller is National Review magazine’s National Political Reporter, based in Washington, D.C.

Miller is the author of three books: A Gift of Freedom: How the John M. Olin Foundation Changed America, Our Oldest Enemy: A History of America’s Disastrous Relationship with France (co-authored by Mark Molesky), and The Unmaking of Americans: How Multiculturalism Has Undermined the Assimilation Ethic.

In addition to writing for National Review, Miller contributes to the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the New Criterion, and other publications. He is a contributing editor to Philanthropy and the author of a Philanthropy Roundtable monograph, Strategic Investment in Ideas: How Two Foundations Reshaped America.

The American Prospect has called Miller “one of the brightest young thinkers on the right” and the Washington Monthly has dubbed him a “rising star” among a “new generation of conservative thinkers and writers.” But these are liberal magazines and not necessarily to be trusted.

Before joining National Review in 1998, Miller was vice president of the Center for Equal Opportunity, which he helped found with Linda Chavez, and a Bradley Fellow at the Heritage Foundation. Prior to that, Miller was a reporter and researcher at The New Republic, where he worked with Fred Barnes.

While attending the University of Michigan, Miller edited the award-winning student newspaper, the Michigan Review.

Miller was born in Detroit, grew up in Michigan and Florida, and currently lives in Prince William County, Virginia, with his family. He likes it there, but he would rather be Up North.
