Michael Rulli has been an employee of his family’s grocery store, a bass guitarist in a Boston-based grunge and noise band and an Ohio state senator.
“I didn’t get involved in politics until I was in my early 40s,” said Rulli, 55. “So I had a whole other life that had nothing to do with it.”
Music was an early passion. “My friends had bands and I always wanted to join their bands and they would never let me,” he said.
