Gary Miller

Gary Miller is a 78-year-old cardiologist and councilman in Danville, Virginia, who gained viral fame for his grassroots efforts to improve public safety by building sidewalks in a historically disinvested neighborhood. His four-year quest to install 1,600 feet of new sidewalks and crosswalks reflects a growing public demand for local government to address basic infrastructure needs, earning him recognition as an unlikely champion of good governance.
