Rep. Max Miller remains on Ohio’s general-election ballot after the deadline to replace him passed, despite calls from fellow Republicans to step aside. The decision leaves Republicans facing a potentially competitive House race amid scrutiny of abuse allegations against Miller.
The deadline for replacing Miller on the ballot passed Monday. The article says Miller is pressing ahead with his reelection campaign despite calls from both Ohio senators for him to drop out; he has said he is confident he can win and is prepared to put more of his own money into the campaign. The race has drawn attention from Democratic groups considering whether to increase support for challenger Brian Poindexter.
Poindexter has campaigned on pocketbook issues and union endorsements. He criticized Miller for keeping his ex-wife and her family in the public spotlight and said he entered the race to represent working people. The article also describes scrutiny of previous abuse allegations against Miller and reports that it was unclear whether Republican groups would spend on his campaign.
