In the midst of a reelection campaign, Ohio Republican Congressman Max Miller now faces a formal House Ethics Committee investigation into allegations of domestic violence — accusations he has consistently denied. The committee's decision to open an inquiry signals that the claims crossed an institutional threshold, warranting scrutiny rather than silence. Such moments remind us that the machinery of democratic accountability does not pause for electoral convenience, and that the personal conduct of those who hold public trust remains a matter of collective concern.
