Rep. Max Miller, who has been facing domestic-abuse allegations made by his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, will remain the Republican nominee in Ohio’s 7th Congressional District after the withdrawal deadline passed. Miller has denied the allegations and has sued his ex-wife for defamation.
Background
Miller’s ex-wife, Emily Moreno, is the daughter of Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno, who publicly called on his former son-in-law to resign from Congress. Despite the controversy, Miller has chosen to stay in the race, which could potentially give Democrats an opportunity to compete for a Republican-leaning seat.
Miller will face Democrat Brian Poindexter, a union ironworker, in the November election. The district has generally favored the GOP, with President Donald Trump carrying it by roughly 11 points in 2024.
