Meet Nadia
Nadia Milleron is an independent mother, farmer, attorney, and successful advocate who will fight for you.
In 2019, Nadia’s daughter was a passenger on a Boeing 737 MAX that crashed in Ethiopia killing all on board. After 2 deadly crashes, instead of taking Boeing’s and the FAA’s word that nothing was wrong and a crash would not happen again, Nadia got involved to hold all involved groups accountable.
Nadia went to Washington and helped lead the unanimous passage of the national bi-partisan Aircraft Certification, Safety, and Accountability Act in 2020 which directed US aircraft and aerospace industry manufacturers to adopt, enforce, and regulate compliance procedures to ensure planes met the proper criteria and specifications before they are commissioned for use.
She didn’t stop there. Nadia then went to Boeing’s home in Illinois and spearheaded the overthrow of a state law that protected big corporations over victims. Nadia met with legislators and stakeholders to fix a flawed law that allowed negligent and reckless corporations to get away with murder and not be held responsible.
Nadia has never shied away from standing up for everyday people. She began her career practicing law helping children who were facing neglect and abuse. For 5 years, she took cases from the bench and advocated on the child’s behalf in cases of contested divorces, lack of child support, or crime. She also represented people in the state mental hospital in probate court proceedings. As a pro bono volunteer attorney, she worked with patients who had been subjected to dehumanizing conditions and a legal system that was violating their rights.
When Nadia’s son got sick with cancer, their family moved to a farm in Sheffield that would improve his quality of life. That farm turned into a way her family could give back to the community and even teach life lessons to other children and residents. Over the last 25 years, they have raised pigs, chicken, turkey, and lambs, and produced organic grain and dairy. Nadia invites classes, after school programs, and local residents to come to the farm and learn about growing sustainable food and raising animals. Their farm continues to be a place for families in Western Massachusetts to receive locally grown food and produce.
Nadia earned her Bachelor’s Degree from Smith College in Northampton and her Juris Doctor from University of Iowa School of Law. She and her husband, Michael, have raised 4 children. Active in the local Rotary Club, Nadia was in charge of the youth exchange program. In addition to finding host families for exchange students in Massachusetts to go abroad, Nadia’s family hosted numerous students to teach them about American culture, farming, and expand their education. Being fluent in Spanish, she was the lead communicator for the program with South American schools and inbound coordinators.
