Democrats see a chance to compete for Ohio’s 7th Congressional District as Rep. Max Miller faces renewed scrutiny over abuse allegations, which he denies. The article describes the legal dispute, calls for an ethics investigation and the candidates’ electoral prospects.
Democrats say the allegations against Miller could make the Republican incumbent vulnerable as they seek to win control of the House. Rep. Shontel Brown called for him to resign, and the House Democratic Women’s Caucus called for an ethics investigation. Miller has denied the allegations and filed defamation lawsuits against his ex-wife and another accuser.
