The deadline for Republicans to replace Rep. Max Miller on Ohio’s general-election ballot passed, leaving him in the race despite calls from within his party to step aside. His Democratic challenger, Brian Poindexter, is seeking to capitalize on the controversy as the race draws more attention.
Republicans’ final opportunity to replace Miller on the ballot passed Monday. The article reports that Miller intends to continue his reelection campaign amid domestic-abuse allegations made by his ex-wife and at least two other women. Miller has said he is confident he can win; he also said he was prepared to put more of his own money into the campaign.
Poindexter has campaigned on pocketbook issues and said he wants to serve working people in the district. The article says Democratic groups were considering whether to increase their support for his campaign, while it remained unclear whether Republican groups would spend on Miller’s behalf.
