Raul Ruiz, M.D. is an American physician and politician. A Democrat, he has been a member of the United States House of Representatives since winning election in 2012. In what was considered a major upset, Ruiz defeated redistricted, incumbent Republican representative Mary Bono Mack in the November 2012 general election in California's 36th congressional district. Ruiz was reelected to Congress in the 2014 election, after what was considered one of the most competitive congressional races in the country.
