Rep. Max Miller will remain on Ohio’s general-election ballot after the deadline to replace him passed, despite calls from fellow Republicans to step aside amid abuse allegations. The race is drawing attention as a potentially competitive contest, with Democratic groups considering more support for challenger Brian Poindexter.
The deadline for Republicans to replace Miller on the ballot passed Monday. The article says Ohio’s two senators called for him to leave the race, while Miller said he believes he can win and plans to invest more of his own money in his campaign. The allegations from his ex-wife and other women have drawn renewed scrutiny, and Miller did not return messages seeking comment.
Democratic groups were weighing whether to make the race a midterm spending priority. Poindexter, a union ironworker and city councilman, has campaigned on pocketbook issues and said he entered the race to fight for his neighbors and working people. The article also describes the district as Republican-leaning and notes that Miller won it with 51% of the vote in a three-way contest two years ago.
