Aug. 10 (UPI) -- Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, who has been accused by his ex-wife of domestic abuse, is continuing his campaign for re-election despite calls for his resignation.
The deadline to suspend his campaign is Monday at 4 p.m. EDT, but a representative for Max Miller's campaign said he will remain on the ballot to represent District 7. Lawmakers from both parties have publicly urged him to step down from his post.
Max Miller is the son-in-law of Rep. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, whose daughter, Emily Miller, is Max Miller's accuser. Moreno received criticism for not condemning Max Miller for weeks before releasing a statement last week, calling him a "danger" and telling him to resign.
"If there are any basic standards of character required to hold elected office, Max Miller fails them," Moreno posted on social media. "He should not serve in the House of Representatives. I believe Max Miller needs to seek professional help to end the clear pattern of abuse he has left in his wake."
