My name is Mike Ruoho, and I was born in Minnesota in 1986. Raised by a single mother alongside my siblings, I witnessed firsthand the values of hard work, perseverance, and resilience as she provided for our family. These lessons have shaped my commitment to fighting for hardworking Americans who deserve a government that works for them—not against them.

I attended Roseville Area High School and Tartan High School before pursuing higher education at Dunwoody College of Technology, where I majored in Automotive Repair and minored in Business. My background in both the trades and business has given me a deep appreciation for the challenges faced by workers, entrepreneurs, and families striving to achieve the American Dream.

I am running for the United States Senate because I believe in limited & smaller government, fiscal responsibility, and protecting the freedoms that make our nation great. Too often, politicians prioritize bureaucracy over the needs of everyday Americans. I will fight to lower taxes, cut wasteful spending, and ensure that small business owners—the backbone of our economy—get the support they need to thrive.

It’s time for real leadership that puts the people first, and that’s exactly what I intend to bring to Washington.
