This timeline tracks the best-supported dated sequence for Brad Miller's Colorado education-law role, from his law-school completion and early charter-sector affiliations through exact SOS practice filings, district-counsel records, the D49 sports-policy campaign, Riverstone / ERBOCES litigation, and the 2026 Academy District 20 and Montrose follow-on sequence.
This page combines direct documents, firm self-description, and strong reporting where chronology materially improves understanding. It does not attempt to absorb every allegation about Miller's statewide influence, and it excludes same-name Brad Miller hits that do not match the verified Colorado Springs school-law identity.
When an entry depends on self-description or reporting rather than a direct filing or official record, that is stated explicitly.
