Sen. Jon Husted of Ohio has joined a growing list of officials urging Rep. Max Miller, R-Bay Village, to resign from office and end his reelection campaign amid over allegations that he abused his 2-year-old daughter and his now ex-wife, Emily Moreno, the daughter ofSen. Bernie Moreno.
There are also allegations that Miller, the congressman for Ohio's 7th Congressional District, assaulted his ex-girlfriend Stephanie Grisham, a former White House communications director, and another woman.
"I believe Max would be making the right decision to step aside as a candidate and resign from Congress to focus on what is in the best interest of his daughter," Husted posted toX, formerly Twitter, Aug. 6.

Do you agree with Jon Husted?
Anyone who commits domestic
violence is not fit to serve in Congress. The House Ethics Committee should thoroughly investigate any credible allegations, and any member found to have committed domestic violence should resign from Congress immediately.
I know both Max Miller and Emily Moreno, as well as their families. I am deeply saddened that their personal lives have become such a public matter, especially as it relates to their daughter, Ruthie.
One thing they both seem to agree on is that Ruthie’s best interests should come first. Those interests will not be served by litigating these matters in public, but by addressing them privately.
Given everything they are facing, I do not see how a campaign for Congress benefits any of them. I believe Max would be making the right decision to step aside as a candidate and resign from Congress to focus on what is in the best interest of his daughter. Years from now, I believe he will look back and know it was the right choice for her.
I hope this decision leads to a more constructive conversation about Ruthie’s future and gives Max and Emily the opportunity, as private citizens, to do what is best for their daughter. My prayers are with them and their family.
Anyone who commits domestic violence is not fit to serve in Congress. The House Ethics Committee should thoroughly investigate any credible allegations, and any member found to have committed domestic violence should resign from Congress immediately.
