• In-person town halls and direct public accessibility in OH-07 461 days silent
  Expected position: As the representative of a district that backed Trump by 11 points but gave Miller only 51% in 2024, Miller would be expected to hold in-person town halls to engage constituents — particularly after voting for the OBBB, which critics said would cut Medicaid for 77,000 constituents. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Cleveland.com reported in April 2026 that Miller's Democratic challengers unanimously criticized him for failing to hold in-person town halls, with multiple candidates making his lack of accessibility a central campaign issue. Miller's office held a job fair at Purdue Fort Wayne and issued regular press releases, but he used screened telephone formats rather than open in-person forums. His opponent Ann Marie Donegan criticized his office for giving constituents 'the runaround' and sending generic replies, saying 'his silence on such critical issues like DHS, immigration failures, murder of innocent people on our streets and behind closed doors...has left constituents vulnerable and unheard.'

• ICE characterization vs. operational data — misleading constituent communications 213 days silent
  Expected position: As a representative who voted to fund ICE and sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Miller should provide constituents with accurate characterizations of federal agency operations. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Mercohispano reported Miller's office sent constituents emails stating 'ICE does not conduct patrols, raids, or sweeps looking for illegal aliens, but strictly conducts targeted enforcement actions' focused on 'those who pose the greatest threat to public safety.' However, a Washington Post analysis of ICE data through mid-October found more than 60% of people detained in at-large arrests since June did not have criminal convictions or pending charges, and a New York Times analysis found that in high-profile operations, more than half of those arrested had no criminal record. Miller did not publicly address these discrepancies. Primary URL: https://mercohispano.com/articles/en/article-Max_Miller_tells_constituents_one_thing_about_ICE.html

  One Big Beautiful Bill Act — On Motion to Concur in the Senate Amendment
  why contradicted?

  [against_constituent] As a Ways and Means Committee member, Miller championed the bill's tax provisions — including his own expanded standard deduction — calling it 'the best bill I've ever voted on.' He told constituents the bill 'protects and strengthens Medicaid.' Independent analyses found it would cut $930 billion from Medicaid and SNAP, kicking an estimated 77,000 OH-07 constituents off health insurance. The DCCC warned 285,000 Ohioans risk losing healthcare. Miller's framing of the bill as Medicaid-protective contradicted CBO projections. The AFL-CIO scored his vote against working people. Pro-Israel and securities/investment donors (his top two industries) strongly supported the bill's tax provisions.

No documented broken promises on file.

• statement_vs_disclosure SCORE 90
  Miller publicly claimed the OBBB 'protects and strengthens Medicaid' in his constituent newsletter while the DCCC analysis found the bill would kick nearly 77,000 of his own constituents off health insurance. The Ohio Capital Journal found the SNAP cuts could cause 900 premature deaths in Ohio. Miller's framing — that the bill only eliminates 'waste, fraud, and abuse' — directly contradicts nonpartisan CBO estimates of $930 billion in Medicaid cuts.
• reversal SCORE 90
  Miller, a Jewish Republican, publicly condemned a core Christian theological statement as 'the most bigoted' thing he had 'ever seen' and told a citizen to delete it — then apologized hours later after a conservative firestorm. The Federalist noted this was a 'shocking denunciation of Christianity' from a 'Trump-endorsed Republican who calls himself a conservative voice for Ohioans.' Ilhan Omar was the only member of Congress to defend the Christian's religious freedom, while no Republican colleagues spoke up.
• position_evolution SCORE 60
  Miller broke with the majority of House Republicans to vote for $60.8 billion in Ukraine aid in April 2024, one of the bill's most vocal advocates. This pro-Ukraine stance put him at odds with the MAGA wing of his party and his own background as a Trump White House aide. He was later selected to join the House Foreign Affairs Committee in March 2026.
• platform_vs_vote SCORE 60
  Miller brands himself as a 'heterodox populist' and 'Davis-Bacon Republican who puts Ohio workers first,' yet his campaign is funded overwhelmingly by Pro-Israel ($242,355), Wall Street ($167,162), and Real Estate ($156,855) interests, with only 0.13% from small donors. His 'populist' branding is contradicted by a donor profile more aligned with the Republican establishment he claims to challenge. He also introduced legislation restoring gambling-loss tax deductions, drawing criticism for serving casino interests over constituents.
