Max Miller Says He'll Lend $1 Million To His Campaign Despite Calls For Him Exit Race

Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, is set to pour $1 million into his re-election campaign, the Wall Street Journal reported, while rejecting growing calls from other GOP lawmakers to drop out and resign from Congress amid domestic abuse allegations made by his ex-wife.

Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, told the Journal has he will lend $1 million to his own campaign.

Miller told the Journal that he plans to lend $1 million to his campaign in two installments of $500,000 and added that he was “invested in this election in every way” and would pour all the resources needed to win.

The report notes that the loan to his own campaign will give Miller a financial edge over Democratic rival Brook Park city councilman Brian Poindexter in the race for Ohio’s 7th Congressional District.

The large lending and doubling down on his campaign comes despite a growing number of GOP lawmakers, including Sen. John Husted, R-Ohio—who is also up for reelection during the midterms—calling for him to resign and end his reelection bid.
