The deadline for Republicans to replace Rep. Max Miller on Ohio’s general-election ballot passed, leaving him in the race as he faces domestic abuse allegations and his contest with Democrat Brian Poindexter draws more attention.
Miller is staying in the race despite calls from Republicans, including Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno, for him to step aside. The article reports that his ex-wife and at least two other women have made previous abuse allegations; Miller did not return messages seeking comment. Miller has said he is confident he can win and is prepared to put more of his own money into his campaign.
The article describes the race as increasingly competitive and says Democratic groups are considering whether to increase support for Poindexter, who has campaigned on pocketbook issues and received union endorsements. Poindexter criticized Miller’s decision to remain in the race and said he is campaigning for working people in the district.
