**Max Miller remains the Republican nominee for Ohio’s 7th Congressional District on the November 3, 2026 general election ballot after declining to withdraw before key August deadlines.** Domestic abuse allegations from his ex-wife Emily Moreno, which Miller has denied, triggered ethics scrutiny, public pressure from figures including Sen. Jon Husted, and party concerns over the seat’s competitiveness in a district Trump carried by double digits in 2024. Miller responded by loaning his campaign $1 million, releasing case documents, and stating he would not step aside, closing the window for GOP leaders to name a replacement. Polls show the race now rated a toss-up against Democrat Brian Poindexter, with Democratic groups increasing spending. No subsequent developments indicate a change in his candidacy.
