Distinguished Speakers at Washington Energy Summit
< BACK TO LISTU.S. Congressman Michael Rulli (R-OH)
A lifelong resident of the Mahoning Valley, Mike Rulli’s roots in the community run deep. Growing up in his family’s century-old business, Rulli Bros. Market, he served as Director of Operations, learning the value of hard work, faith, and service. Working in the grocery store for most of his life, Mike has connected with people from all walks of life, hearing their concerns at the deli counter or checkout lane. He understands the challenges of stretching a dollar until payday and knows that policy directly impacts families’ budgets, businesses, and overall quality of life. His firsthand experience as a business owner shaped his commitment to supporting small businesses and reducing the regulatory and tax burden on entrepreneurs
Mike’s public service began with his efforts to save St. Patrick’s Church in Leetonia from closure. He went on to serve eight years on the Leetonia School Board, leading the district to financial stability and academic success. He 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.
A dedicated husband and father, Mike lives in Salem with his wife, Kelly, and their two children. His mission remains clear: to fight for policies that strengthen families, support small businesses, and revitalize the Ohio River Valley.
