Rep. Max Miller, Accused of Abuse, Will Remain in Reelection Race as Withdrawal Deadline Passes

The House Ethics Committee is investigating domestic violence allegations as Republican leaders warn the race could cost the party a seat.

  • Rep. Max Miller confirmed Saturday he will remain in his re-election campaign, defying mounting pressure from GOP leadership to resign following serious allegations of domestic abuse.
  • Miller's ex-wife Emily Moreno alleges in a New York Times report he scalded her chest, held a gun to her head, and fractured their 2-year-old daughter's collarbone, allegations Miller denies.
  • Recent polling shows Miller trailing Democratic congressional candidate Brian Poindexter by 14 points in the 7th Congressional District, a seat previously considered safely red.
  • Senator Jon Husted and Ohio GOP strategist Mehek Cooke have called for Miller to resign, with Cooke labeling his candidacy 'an unnecessary distraction' before Monday's 4 p.m. replacement deadline.
  • Republican officials fear the scandal could cost the party a House seat, complicating efforts to maintain control during an already competitive cycle where Ohio's Senate and gubernatorial races remain toss-up contests.
