Ohio House of Representatives

When Representative Thom Collier was term limited from the Statehouse in 2008, Ruhl ran for the open seat. A decisively Republican district, Ruhl initially faced Tom Whiston in the Republican Primary, and won with 53.71%. She defeated Democrat Duane Grassbaugh by 55.16% of the vote in an overwhelmingly Democratic year.[1]

In 2010, Ruhl ran for a second term. Again Ruhl faced a primary challenge by Patrick Quinn, but again won with 64.59% of the vote. She went on to defeat Democrat John Ryerson with 72.26% of the vote.[2] Ruhl is serving on the committees of Agriculture and Natural Resources; Financial Institutions, Housing and Urban Development (as vice chair); and Transportation, Public Safety and Homeland Security.
