Miller says his father-in-law is hiding from his own scandal, as Ohio law leaves the party powerless to replace him before Wednesday's deadline.

The filing comes as Miller's own domestic violence petition against Moreno just collapsed and Republicans face an Aug. 5 ballot replacement deadline.

State Sen. Casey Weinstein contrasts Moreno's Fauci theatrics with his months of public silence on abuse allegations against Rep. Max Miller, his own son-in-law.

An unrelated campaign finance complaint over the same $650 Venmo contributions remains open with Ohio's Secretary of State, unaddressed by the disciplinary closure.

Husted's remark comes as Ohio's data center tax break cost $1.6 billion in 2025 and AEP Ohio disconnections hit 15%, four times FirstEnergy's rate.

The donations from Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle and AEP are a small share of Husted's $14.35 million haul but fuel Brown's ad attacking his tax-break record.

The 47-49 vote split Ohio's delegation, with Rep. Warren Davidson breaking from fellow Republicans to back withdrawal in the House hours earlier.

Watson says a post-primary meeting with Click left him unconvinced on data centers and digital ID, as he relocates to Wayne County ahead of Click's Nov. 3 race against Democrat Aaron Jones.

Calendars show Husted met Connor for school planning as early as 2019, years before the developer's largest-ever federal donations followed his 2025 earmark request.

A hotel employee reported the alleged victim screaming before officers found redness on her face and a non-expiring protective order already on file.

Federal and state filings show Havas gave Husted's campaigns and DeWine's ticket $24,250.79 since 2018, including weeks before his resignation this month.

Havas served 90 days in jail after his 2009 case was reduced from sexual misconduct with a minor to misdemeanor assault, records show.
