[constituency_baseline] District summary: Ohio's 6th Congressional District covers the northeastern corner of the state including Mahoning, Trumbull, and portions of Stark counties. The district centers on the Youngstown-Warren metropolitan area, historically known as the 'Rust Belt' for its steel industry. The area has struggled with deindustrialization since the 1970s but maintains significant manufacturing presence. The district voted 71% for Trump in 2024, reflecting strong Republican lean. Key industries include manufacturing, healthcare, and retail, with steel and steel-related production experiencing renewed investment due to tariffs.

Voted yea on H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act) on 2025-04-28: OH-06 has a 15.3% poverty rate and significant manufacturing sector. The bill's Medicaid cuts and federal spending reductions may affect the district's healthcare sector (top employer) and social services. Rulli's vote aligned with Trump and party leadership despite potential constituent impact in a district Trump won by 28 points

Voted yea on H.R.1908 (End Congressional Stock Trading Act) on 2025-04-01: Rulli voted for banning stock trading by Congress members despite his own significant wealth ($10.1-37 million) primarily in real estate and business holdings rather than diversified stock portfolios.

Voted nay on S.J.Res.49 (Joint resolution terminating the national emergency declared to impose global tariffs) on 2025-04-01: OH-06 is centered on the Youngstown area with historic steel mill employment. Rulli publicly championed Trump's tariffs as revitalizing Rust Belt communities in multiple interviews. Voting against this resolution to terminate tariffs aligns with his stated position and district manufacturing interests. However, tariff increases have raised costs for appliance makers like Whirlpool operating in the region - representing cross-pressure between steel sector benefits and consumer costs

Last contradiction analysis: Never

same_source_inconsistency 30/100

Platform: "Rulli stated he supports Trump's tariffs as 'revitalizing Rust Belt communities' and bringing manufacturing back to Ohio"

Vote: on "Rulli claims to be '100% with President Trump' and an 'America First' conservative"

Both quotes come from the same period where Rulli aligned completely with Trump. The 'America First' positioning on tariffs directly benefits the steel industry in his district - this represents alignment rather than contradiction, but flagged as same_source_inconsistency per rules

Healthcare PAC donations and policy position

213d silent

[ Show full donor-interest summary ]

Expected position: As a new Congressman with healthcare PAC donations from Molina Healthcare and Centene, Rulli would be expected to address his position on healthcare policy, especially given OH-06's healthcare sector importance Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Rulli accepted $2,000 from Molina Healthcare PAC and contributions from Centene Corp PAC in 2026. During his first months in Congress, he made no public statements on prescription drug pricing, Medicare expansion, or healthcare access - issues important to the district's 15.3% poverty rate and aging population Primary URL: https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading/politician/Michael%20A.%20Rulli-R000619/donors

Expected position: OH-06 has significant manufacturing sector with tariffs benefiting steel and related industries. Rulli would be expected to address cuts to MEP programs that help manufacturers Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Trump ended all federal funding for Ohio MEP programs during this window. Rulli, who publicly advocates for tariffs benefiting manufacturers in his district, was silent on this cut despite it directly affecting Ohio manufacturers. He gave interviews on tariffs and trade policy but did not address MEP funding elimination Primary URL: https://www.facebook.com/RepShontelBrown/posts/trump-has-abruptly-ended-all-federal-funding-for-ohios-manufacturing-extension-p/870486305501861/

Scoring Methodology

The Capture Risk Score is a composite 0–100 index measuring potential regulatory capture of elected officials. It is computed from seven weighted components:

Component	Weight	Signal
Contradiction Risk	30%	Stated positions contradicted by the record (recent findings boosted)
Donor Influence	20%	Distinct documented donors (FEC Schedule A PACs); inferred donors do not count
Connection Density	20%	Mapped relationships to lobbyists, contractors, interest groups; donor links excluded
Silence Risk	15%	Topics where donors have interests but the official is silent
Intelligence Volume	15%	Documented facts from verified sources
Constituency Deviation	0%	Shown, not weighted — a model estimate, not a record
Voting Misalignment	0%	Shown, not weighted — needs platform commitments almost nobody has; the roll-call record on /votes is the vote signal

Each component is the member's standing among all scored members of Congress, and the weighted sum is the overall score. Tiers are ranks: Critical is the top 5%, High the next 10%, Elevated the next 20%, Moderate the next 30%, and Low the rest.

Officials without at least 2 documented facts, 1 contradiction analysis, 1 voting record, or 1 constituency baseline are marked Insufficient Evidence and excluded from numeric ranking.

Contradiction findings from the last 180 days receive a recency boost. High-severity contradictions (score ≥ 70) receive additional weight.

Calculation Methodology

Contract values are summed from documented money flow chains where this entity appears as a source or destination node. Amounts are drawn from USASpending.gov, FEC filings, SEC EDGAR, or LD-2 lobbying registrations.

Donor contributions aggregate documented amounts from the donor_interests table, sourced from FEC individual and PAC contribution filings.

Connected officials are elected officials in our database with a mapped relationship (lobbying, board membership, campaign contribution, etc.) to this entity.

Annualised flow represents the total documented dollar amount traced through money flow hops involving this entity. Where hop-level amounts are unavailable, the chain-level documented total is used as a conservative upper bound.

All figures are drawn from public filings. Estimates are conservative — undisclosed transactions, dark money, and vanish-point hops are excluded from totals. This is a minimum documented floor, not a ceiling.
