John Franklin Miller c. 1920

John Franklin Miller (9 June 1862 – 28 May 1936), an American politician, served as a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1917 to 1931. He represented the First Congressional District of Washington as a Republican. He also served as the Mayor of Seattle from 1908 through 1910.

Miller ran for election to the seat being vacated by fellow Republican William Humphrey (who was running for United States Senate) in 1916, winning that election and the elections of 1918, 1920, 1922, 1924, 1926, and 1928. He was defeated for the Republican nomination in 1930 by Ralph Horr, who then won the general election. John Franklin Miller was named after his uncle, also John Franklin Miller, a senator from California. Both sometimes went by John F. Miller.
