Columbus, OH, August 6, 2026 —
Ohio Republican U.S. Sen. Jon Husted has publicly called for U.S. Rep. Max Miller to resign from his congressional seat and withdraw from his upcoming election campaign. The call for resignation follows allegations of domestic violence made against Representative Miller by three women, one of whom is his ex-wife.
Senator Husted outlined a timeline regarding potential replacements for the ballot. According to Husted, if Representative Miller were to resign from his position before August 10th, local party officials would have the opportunity to select a new candidate to appear on the ballot in his place.
However, Husted also indicated that the situation changes if Miller withdraws after the August 10th deadline. In that scenario, there would be no Republican candidate listed on the ballot to contest the race against the Democratic nominee.
The specific details of the domestic violence allegations against Representative Miller were not provided in the summary. The names of the other two women who have made allegations were also not specified.
The timeframe for Miller’s potential response or any further actions by the party was not detailed.
