MethodologyIn the 2024 House race for OH-6, Michael A. Rulli (R) defeated Michael L. Kripchak (D) 66.7% to 33.3%. Michael A. Rulli received 245,860 votes compared to 122,515 for Michael L. Kripchak, a dominant 33.5-point margin reflecting a safely partisan district.
This was an open-seat race with no incumbent running — Bill Johnson (R) previously held the seat. Open seats typically attract stronger candidates and heavier spending from both parties. The 2024 presidential election drove higher voter turnout, which can help or hurt down-ballot candidates depending on the top of the ticket. The wide margin suggests this district is firmly in the Republican column for the foreseeable future.
