Max knows the burden excess taxation can place on working families in the 7th district. That’s why he has voted to support making tax cuts permanent, no tax on tips, and no tax on overtime.
The American dream does not require a 4-year degree and a mountain of student loan debt. There are many different paths to take in the pursuit of happiness and Max is working to ensure every American can pursue the path that’s right for them. Max has made it his mission to expand workforce development and career and technical education opportunities that create prosperity for individuals & build a stronger future for America.
Max knows how important law enforcement is in keeping our families safe. While radical Democrats want to defund and degrade our law enforcement on the front lines, Max will fight for increased funding and support for law enforcement.
The lawlessness at the southern border has led to illicit drugs on our streets, dangerous criminals getting rich, and human trafficking of innocent victims. Mass migration places strains on services across America. Criminals who should have never been able to enter our country do so freely. Max will continue to fight to maintain the secure border.
The Biden administration raised the costs of energy with policies that put China, the Middle East, and Russia first by cutting American energy production off at the knees. Max will continue to support the policies of the Trump administration to develop American energy independence and reduce the costs of gas and electricity.
We need to do all we can to make America the best place on the planet to create a job. Job creators of all sizes are attacked for their success. The number one thing that will lift our neighbors out of poverty and put them on a path to a better life is a good-paying job. Get the government out of the way and our job creators will make Ohio and America stronger.
No policy is more America First than investing in our infrastructure. Strong infrastructure is the backbone of a thriving economy. Roads, bridges, rail, and broadband keep commerce moving, connect communities, and create good-paying jobs. When we rebuild and modernize our infrastructure here at home, we strengthen our supply chains, reduce dependence on foreign competitors, and keep America secure.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 39 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.

A further $234,072 came from donors whose answer names no employer (None, blank), so it is not ranked. Ranked from the largest 200 of 201 employer spellings filed; each share is of the money in those. Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($190,741) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Outside spending $8,082,112 across this race
Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
Support and oppose are each group’s own labels, not a judgment made here.
$1,975,746 of the race total was filed about other candidates, so it would not show on Miller’s own record.
Independent expenditures (Schedule E) only. Electioneering communications and corporate or union member communications file separately; they are counted for Millerunder “Other outside spending” in the full finance detail, but not for the rest of the field, so every other row is a floor.

Every itemized payment the committee reported this cycle, sorted by what it said each one was for. The categories are ours; the wording they are matched against is the committee’s own. Open a category to read the filed descriptions and who was paid. FEC filings through Oct 14, 2026.
All 1,022 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
16 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $26,660 in all, are counted under the payee and purpose they name rather than under the processor that was paid. The total is the same either way.
