Miele is a Republican who represented Legislative District 8 in Baltimore County. He served on the House Health and Government Operations Committee and the legislature's Joint Committee on Behavioral Health and Opioid Use Disorders.[1]

He ran for the District 8 seat in the Maryland Senate in 2018 but lost to Katherine Klausmeier in the General Election.[5][6]

Miele was the Republican nominee for Maryland Senate in District 34 for the 2022 Maryland Legislative election.[7] He defeated Butch Tilley with 74% of the vote, and was narrowly defeated by Democratic challenger Mary-Dulany James in the general election.[8]

Following his defeat, in December 2022, Governor Larry Hogan appointed Miele to the Maryland Senate to replace former state senator Robert Cassilly, who vacated the seat after winning the Harford County executive election. He was sworn in on January 5th, 2023. Miele served in this position for one week until the start of the Maryland General Assembly's 445th legislative session on January 11, 2023.[9] His tenure of just 6 days marks one of the shortest in Maryland Senate history.
