About Me
What Guides Me
I lead with empathy, integrity, and a deep respect for the people who call Chandler home.
I believe:
Listening matters as much as speaking
Community input should shape decisions
Local government should be accessible and responsive
These aren’t political ideas. They’re how I’ve always worked.
I didn’t set out to run for office. I set out to serve my community.
I’m Cicely Rocha-Miller, and Chandler is home.
For more than a decade, my husband Joe and I have raised our family here, building our lives around schools, neighborhoods, small businesses, and the community spaces that make Chandler what it is. Like so many residents, I care deeply about protecting what works while planning responsibly for the future.
Again and again, I heard the same thing from people across Chandler:
“I love this city and want to keep it that way.”
That stayed with me.
This Campaign
This campaign is built by neighbors, volunteers, small business owners, and residents who care about Chandler and are willing to step in.
If you care about the future of our city, there’s a place for you here.
I’m a business owner, community leader, and operations-focused problem solver with more than 25 years of experience managing budgets, leading teams, and delivering results.
I founded Life Design Events in 2005, building a business rooted in organization, accountability, and execution. Today, I serve as Principal at ROCHA, where I support marketing, Human Relations, and accounting operations, helping drive growth and long-term stability.
My work in Chandler has been hands-on and community-driven. I’ve served two terms as a board member for the San Marcos Country Club Estates HOA, strengthening communication and neighborhood engagement through consistent outreach and community initiatives.
I was selected to serve on the City of Chandler’s Resident Bond Exploratory Committee, contributing to the Public Safety Subcommittee and helping evaluate a $475 million bond program focused on police, fire, and infrastructure investments with an emphasis on fiscal responsibility.
I’m also a graduate of the Chandler Citizen Police Academy, which gave me a deeper understanding of the day-to-day realities, challenges, and responsibilities of our officers.
In addition, I’ve supported community advocacy efforts as an Impact Partner for the successful Keep Term Limits Proposition 410 campaign, and I continue to work alongside local organizations like Oakwood Creative Care to support programming, events, and community engagement for folks suffering from cognitive disabilities.
Across every role, whether in business, nonprofit work, or civic involvement, my focus has been the same: show up, listen, and follow through. I understand how decisions affect real lives, and I take that responsibility seriously.
Leadership and Experiance
Why I’m Running
Chandler is growing, and with that comes real responsibility.
We need leadership that protects neighborhoods, supports public safety, strengthens small businesses, and plans thoughtfully for the future.
I’m running because I believe local government should be present, accountable, and connected to the people it serves, not just during elections, but every day. not just during elections, but every day.
