Michael Anthony Rulli[1] (born March 11, 1969) is an American politician, musician and businessman who is serving as the U.S. representative for Ohio's 6th congressional district.

[5] Born on March 11, 1969,[6] Rulli is a graduate of Poland Seminary High School and the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps.

While studying in Boston, Rulli also interned for Joseph P. Kennedy II and played in the grunge band Red Bliss.

[10] [11] In January 2024, Rulli voted to override Governor DeWine's veto of HB 68, a bill banning gender-affirming care for minors and prohibiting transgender athletes from participating in girls' and women's sports.

[12] Rulli became the Republican nominee on March 19, 2024 for the 2024 special election for Ohio's 6th congressional district,[13] and defeated Democrat Michael Kripchak on June 11.

The lawsuit alleged that OCWF was a "sham charity" that falsely claimed to be raising money for those impacted by the East Palestine train derailment, misrepresenting its use of funds.

A special prosecutor's investigation, which found no physical evidence (such as shell casings or bullets), concluded that the Rullis' actions were reasonable under the circumstances and declined to press charges against either party, though it did determine the teenagers were trespassing.
