The 2026 Ohio 7th District House election features Democrat Brian Poindexter and Republican Max Miller. Incumbent Representative Max Miller is seeking reelection to a third term. In 2024, Donald Trump won Ohio's 7th congressional district by 13.5%, and the election for the district's House seat is rated as lean Republican in 2026. The race will test whether Democrats can flip a competitive Ohio seat or whether Republicans can hold one of their key House battlegrounds.
