Career[edit]
In 2018, Rulli unseated Democrat John Boccieri, an incumbent member of the Ohio House of Representatives and former Congressman. Prior to that election contest, Rulli's only other political experience was as a School Board member for the Leetonia Exempted Village School District in Columbiana County.[3] Rulli defeated Democrat Bob Hagan 66% to 34% in the 2022 election cycle.
