Ohio Rep. Max Miller Faces Calls to Resign Over Domestic Abuse Allegations

Max Miller Bernie Moreno domestic abuse allegations Ohio 7th District resignation call

Republican U.S. Representative Max Miller, who represents Ohio’s 7th Congressional District, is under intense scrutiny after his ex‑wife Emily Moreno – the daughter of U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno – alleged that he scalded her with hot water, pointed a gun at her head and caused a broken collarbone to their two‑year‑old daughter. Senator Moreno publicly said Miller is a danger, should not serve in the House and must seek professional help, urging him to resign.

Miller has denied every allegation, stating that no court or agency has ever substantiated any claim and that no criminal charges have been filed. He noted that child‑welfare investigations found the accusations unsubstantiated and that he will not drop out of the November 2026 race, insisting he will win. Miller released a large cache of documents via Dropbox to support his innocence and has sued his ex‑wife for defamation.

The controversy has turned the previously safe Republican seat into a potential Democratic pickup, with party leaders and gun‑violence‑prevention groups calling for a congressional ethics investigation. Miller is endorsed by former President Donald Trump, but the growing political pressure highlights the broader issue of character standards for elected officials.
