Rep. Max Miller is staying in Ohio’s 7th District race after the deadline to replace him on the ballot passed. Allegations against him and uncertainty about Republican campaign support have made the race more competitive.
Miller is pressing ahead with his reelection campaign despite calls from fellow Republicans to step aside amid domestic abuse allegations from his ex-wife and other women. The deadline for Republicans to replace him on the general-election ballot passed Monday. Miller says he believes he can win, while Democratic groups are weighing whether to increase support for his challenger, Brian Poindexter.
Poindexter has campaigned on pocketbook issues and union support, and criticized Miller for keeping his ex-wife and her family in the public spotlight. Miller said he was prepared to put more of his own money into the campaign. Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters said the party would support its nominees but that candidates must prove they can win; it remained unclear whether national Republican groups would spend on Miller.
