Becoming more familiar with Paul Ryan.
"Because of his close
identification with budget issues these days, it is sometimes difficult to get
the seven-term lawmaker to expatiate on other things. But his record is just as
conservative on most issues across the board. Ryan (lifetime American
Conservative Union rating: 93 percent) has also been a strong booster of
gun-owners’ right, pro-life legislation, and tougher measures on illegal
immigration."
"Most of his working life has been
spent on dealing with issues and public policy. A graduate of Miami University
(Ohio), Ryan worked as speechwriter for Jack Kemp and William Bennett at their
“Empower America” organization, and was then legislative director for Sen. Sam Brownback
(R-Kan.). Anticipating that incumbent Rep. Mark Neumann would run for the
Senate in 1998, Ryan moved back to his hometown, mobilized a campaign in which
he would easily win nomination and election (57 percent of the vote) to
Congress."
