SPARKS, NV -- Western Representation PAC, one of the largest and fastest-growing conservative action groups in the country, announced today that former Alaska US Senate Republican nominee Joe Miller, is the PAC’s new Chairman. Miller is replacing Dustin Stockton, who founded the PAC and has assumed the role of Chief Strategist for the organization.

Regarding the announcement Miller said, "I am thrilled to be joining the Western Representation PAC. Despite being formed fairly recently, the PAC was able to gain strong support and make an important impact during the 2010 election cycle. We plan to build on that great start and bring the voice of ‘We the People’ to bear even more as we move towards 2012."

Miller joins the organization as it continues its campaign against the overbearing influence and unsustainable cost of government employee unions. Western Representation PAC spearheaded the nationwide support for Gov. Scott Walker. The group launched an aggressive ad campaign
supporting Walker's commitment to balanced budgets and ending compulsory unionism. We will be supporting similar efforts across the country.

“We couldn’t be more excited to have Joe Miller join our team,” said Stockton. “His character, and his commitment to protecting the values that make America the greatest nation on Earth, make Joe the perfect man to chair our organization.”

Western Representation PAC supported Miller in his stunning primary victory over Sen. Lisa Murkowski. The group also ran independent expenditure campaigns in Nevada and Massachusetts.

Stockton formed Western Representation PAC with his father, Roger Stockton, in early 2009, with the goal of making a difference in the political process. Beginning with no financial or political backing, the organization has become one of the largest and fastest-growing political organizations in the nation thanks to over 250,000 supporters across the country.
