Max Miller was born on November 13, 1988, the son of Abe and Barb Miller and the grandson of Samuel H. Miller, a former co-chair of Forest City Realty Trust. He grew up in Northeast Ohio and graduated from Shaker Heights High School in 2007.
Miller attended the University of Arizona from August 2007 until December 2009, then transferred to Cleveland State University in August 2010 and earned a bachelor's degree in history there in 2013.
He worked at a Lululemon store in Ohio before joining the Marine Reserve in 2013, where he served as a corporal, and in 2019 he was transferred to the Individual Ready Reserve.
Miller worked for Marco Rubio's campaign for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination before joining Donald Trump's presidential campaign in February 2016.
In the Trump administration he was a confidential assistant at the Department of the Treasury in 2017, then a lead advance representative in the White House Office, and later associate director of the Presidential Personnel Office and special assistant to the president.
In 2020 he became deputy campaign manager for presidential operations on Trump's reelection campaign, and in December 2020 Trump appointed him to the Holocaust Memorial Council.
In February 2021 Miller launched a campaign for Congress in the redrawn 7th district. He won the Republican primary on May 3, 2022, with 71.8% of the vote and defeated Democrat Matthew Diemer in the November 8 general election with 55.4%. In 2024 he was re-elected over Diemer and former congressman Dennis Kucinich. In the 119th Congress he serves on the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on Ways and Means.
Ohio's 7th congressional district stretches from exurban Cleveland to rural north central Ohio, including Medina, Ashland and Wooster. Max Miller, the Republican incumbent, was re-elected in 2024 with 51.10% of the vote and won the 2026 Republican primary unopposed.
In late July 2026 he began facing calls from state and national Republicans to leave the race after national news reports of abuse allegations made by his ex-wife, which he denies, and following the allegations he sued her for defamation.
Miller remained a candidate past the August 8, 2026, deadline, after which Ohio law no longer allows the Republican Party to replace him on the general election ballot. He faces Democrat Brian Poindexter, who won an eight-candidate primary with 37.0% of the vote, in the election on November 3, 2026.
