Max Miller says allegations in a dispute with his ex-wife have cost his reelection campaign union support and donor money. His claims are disputed, and the House Ethics Committee is reviewing allegations against him.
In a court affidavit, Rep. Max Miller said allegations stemming from his dispute with his ex-wife cost his campaign union support and donations, and raised its estimated spending needs from $1.4 million to $2.5 million–$3 million. Miller denied abusing his former wife or their daughter; his ex-wife’s attorney disputed Miller’s account of the union losses and said he provided no proof.
