Miller Seeks
Party's Core
By GINA VOSS EDWARDS
Times Newspapers Staff Writer
To take the Republican nomination from 18-year party veteran Sen. John Warner, Jim Miller and his supporters are working to turn out what they call the “Republican core” for the June 11th primary.
Mr. Miller and his supporters hope party loyalists won’t forget Sen. Warner’s break from the Republican party in 1994 to support independent senate candidate Marshall Coleman. Sen. Warner vocalized his opposition to Republican party nominee Ollie North, a cardinal sin in the eyes of some conservatives.
“John Warner has been disloyal to the principles and people ’of our party,” said Miller campaign co-chairman .Mike Farris, whose candidacy for Lt. Governor in 1994 Warner also opposed. “If only Republicans vote, Jim Miller will win.”
Sen. Warner’s, supporters admit that to win the nomination, Sen. Warner must mobilize support from independent voters, a group not normally prone to vote in primary contests.
Mr. Miller, a former budget director for President Ronald Reagan, is pushing a tax reform pledge and appealing to social conservatives on “family values” issues, in addition to using the loyalty issue against Sen. Warner.
