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.

✓ verified Pending Review [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.
Added: 03 May 2026
✓ verified Primary Source 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
Date: 2025-04-28 Added: 03 May 2026 ↗ RECORDS: Roll call: H.R. 1
✓ verified Primary Source 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. This represents donor_defection from financial industry interests if they opposed the ban, or a strategic move given his lack of individual stock trading activity
Date: 2025-04-01 Added: 03 May 2026 ↗ RECORDS: Roll call: H.R.1908
✓ verified Primary Source 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
Date: 2025-04-01 Added: 03 May 2026 ↗ RECORDS: Roll call: S.J.Res.49
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] Rulli stated he supports tariffs as a 'national security issue' for American steel production
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] Rulli claims to be '100% with President Trump' and an 'America First' conservative
✓ verified Primary Source [statement] Rulli stated he supports Trump's tariffs as 'revitalizing Rust Belt communities' and bringing manufacturing back to Ohio
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Rulli disclosed assets worth between $10.1 million and $37 million, making him the second-wealthiest member of Ohio's congressional delegation
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Rulli is a grocery store heir whose family operates Rulli Bros. Market, a century-old family business in the Mahoning Valley
✓ verified Partially Corroborated Rulli raised $258,996 in Q2 2025 with $205,000 cash on hand, significantly outraising opponents
