Ohio OH-7 Election 2026: Ohio’s deep-red House district becomes a battleground amid Max Miller controversy

Ohio's 7th Congressional District is not a traditional swing seat. It leans Republican and backed Donald Trump by about 11 percentage points in 2024. But the race has become competitive because Republican Representative Max Miller is facing domestic abuse allegations and a House Ethics Committee investigation, while Democrats have nominated Brian Pointdexter, a union ironworker and former local councilman. The contest is now one of the Democrats' opportunities to make gains in a district that would normally be considered safe for Republicans.
