Latest News
Scott Schulz is one of the Democrats running in Ohio’s 7th Congressional District, where the race is drawing more attention because Republican Rep. Max Miller is facing domestic abuse allegations and an Ethics Committee investigation. Analysts say the controversy could make the district more competitive if Miller stays on the ballot. The district is still generally considered to lean Republican, and the Democratic primary is set for May 5.
