The 2024 Ohio's 6th congressional district special election was held on June 11, 2024, to fill the vacant seat in Ohio's 6th congressional district for the remainder of the 118th United States Congress. The seat became vacant on January 21, 2024, after Bill Johnson resigned to become president of Youngstown State University. The 6th district, largely rural in character with several smaller industrial cities, is considered a safe Republican seat.^[1]

Republican Michael Rulli defeated Democratic candidate Michael Kripchak with 54.62% of the vote. Although Rulli won, the margin was considerably narrower than expected.^[2]^[3] Both Rulli and Kripchak faced off again in the November election, with Rulli improving his margin of victory.^[4]

Rulli was sworn in on June 25.^[3]

Background

Republican Bill Johnson was re-elected to congress in 2022 from Ohio's 6th district. On November 21, 2023, Johnson announced he would resign to accept a position as president of Youngstown State University in 2024.^[5] On January 2, he announced he would resign earlier than expected on January 21 of that same year. On January 4, Governor Mike DeWine announced a primary election scheduled for March 19, and a general election on June 11.^[6]
