MEET MICHAEL RULLI

Congressman Michael Rulli was born and raised in the Mahoning Valley. He understands the struggles Ohio families are facing and what hard work means. Over 100 years ago, Michael's family founded Rulli Brothers Market, which he and his brother still run today. In 2018 he was elected to the Ohio State Senate as a voice for our values, prior to that he served as Leetonia School Board President, where Michael led the school system out of financial chaos without raising taxes!

Congressman Michael Rulli recently finished serving his second term in the Ohio Senate representing the 33rd Senate District covering Mahoning, Columbiana, and Caroll counties after winning a special election to Ohio's 6th Congressional seat in June of 2024.

The Mahoning Valley has been his family's home and place of business for generations since the founding of Rulli Bros. Market, started by his grandfather and great-uncle over 100 years ago.

Previously Michael Rulli was elected to the Leetonia School Board and is passionate about the education of our children. Serving as President of the school board, he led the district through a crippling financial crisis, and the district climbed into the top 100 in the state in "value-added," a distinction Leetonia School held two years in a row.

As a father and husband, Michael Rulli understands the corners of families and realizes the importance of a healthy and stable economic climate along with safe communities.

In 2017 the Better Business Bureau recognized Rulli with the Torch Award. That same year the Regional Chamber honored him with their Small Businessman of the Year award.

Senator Rulli is a graduate of Poland Seminary High School and Emerson College. He and his wife Kelly live in Salem with their two children.
