Ohio Rep. Max Miller says he will remain in the reelection race amid abuse allegations from his ex-wife, which he denies. The House Ethics Committee is investigating whether he may have engaged in domestic violence, abuse or illegal drug use.
Ohio Republicans could name a replacement nominee before 4 p.m. Monday under state law, but the article says Miller would have needed to withdraw over the weekend. His ex-wife, Emily Moreno, has accused him of fracturing their daughter’s collarbone and physically abusing her; Miller denies the allegations and says files he released on X debunk the claims.
Sen. Bernie Moreno, Emily Moreno’s father and Miller’s former father-in-law, said Miller should not serve in the House and needs professional help. The House Ethics Committee said Miller “may have engaged in domestic violence and abuse or illegal drug use.” The article says it was unclear whether Moreno’s request prompted the investigation.
