Representative Rulli, Michael A.

A lifelong resident of the Mahoning Valley, Mike Rulli grew up in his family’s century-old business, Rulli Bros. Market, where he served as director of operations and learned the value of hard work, faith, and service. Working in the grocery store for most of his life, he met people from across the region and came to see how policy affects family budgets, small businesses, and quality of life.

Rulli’s public service began with efforts to save St. Patrick’s Church in Leetonia from closure. He later served eight years on the Leetonia School Board, helping lead the district to financial stability and academic success, and then served nearly two terms in the Ohio Senate representing Mahoning, Columbiana, and Carroll counties before winning a special election in 2024 to represent Ohio’s 6th Congressional District.

Rulli lives in Salem with his wife, Kelly, and their two children, and remains focused on policies that strengthen families, support small businesses, and revitalize the Ohio River Valley.
