Brian Poindexter leads the OH-07 House race in trader pricing because personal allegations against incumbent Max Miller have eroded Republican support in a district previously viewed as safely Republican. Public details from Miller’s custody dispute, including accusations of spousal and child abuse that he denies, prompted calls from GOP figures for him to exit before the filing deadline. Miller remains in the race and has sued for defamation, but multiple nonpartisan ratings moved the contest to toss-up status after August polling showed Poindexter, a union ironworker and Brook Park councilman, ahead or competitive on working-class and labor issues. Recent campaign ads and cross-party comments have reinforced perceptions of Miller’s vulnerability heading into the November general election.
