Ohio U.S. House District 7 2026: where the candidates stand on data centers
2 candidates on the November 3, 2026 ballot, from the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections' list (opens in a new tab). The officeholder comes first, then the Republican and Democratic nominees together by last name, then everyone else by last name; in each group a candidate with a statement or vote on the record comes first (how the order works). Each has the same space. The list: Cuyahoga County Board of Elections, November 3, 2026 General Election Candidate List (no list date printed; read October 15, 2026).
Max Miller, U.S. Rep. from Ohio, said he supports Ohio's HB 983 requiring large new or expanded data centers to obtain local voter approval, operate with closed loop water systems, stringent environmental controls, pay for water and environmental impacts, generate off grid electricity, disclose development agreements and chemical use, and forgo local tax incentives
These candidates are off the November 3 ballot. Each line gives the status, the day and the source; what each has said about data centers stays on their own page.
A candidate leaves a race before the general election by losing the primary, withdrawing or being disqualified, and the record writes it only where a source says so. How the record follows each candidacy.
Certified write in candidates 2
These candidates are not printed on the November 3 ballot. A voter writes in the name, and the votes count because an official election list certifies the candidacy: the state's own, or a county election board's where the state publishes none. Each line names the list that certifies it; what each has said about data centers stays on their own page.
Labels are applied by the record's published rules: two readings of each statement, and a third that reads its source where the two differ. Every label sits beside its statement and its source, and any label can be challenged through Report a change, with the correction logged on the corrections page.
