Brian Poindexter holds a strong lead in the OH-07 House race due to domestic abuse allegations against incumbent Republican Max Miller from his ex-wife, which surfaced in mid-2026 and prompted resignation calls from some GOP figures including Sen. Bernie Moreno. Miller denies the claims and remains on the ballot. Poindexter, a union ironworker and Brook Park city councilman, won a crowded Democratic primary in May and has secured union backing plus some cross-party support by emphasizing affordability and constituent services. Multiple raters shifted the seat to toss-up status after the scandal, and recent Democratic polls show Poindexter ahead or tied, though the district leaned Republican in prior cycles. Traders appear to weigh Miller’s vulnerabilities heavily in current pricing ahead of the November general election.
