Executive summary: Congressman, Wisconsin 1st Widely described as one of the brightest young lights of the Republican Party, Ryan was elected to Congress at the age of 29. He is best known nationally for his 2010 position paper, "A Roadmap for America's Future", an economic plan that promises a slimmer, more austere federal government, brought about largely through reductions and privatization of Medicare and tax cuts for high-income Americans. "The reason I got involved in public service, by and large, if I had to credit one thinker, one person, it would be Ayn Rand," Ryan has said, and he requires that his Congressional staffers read Rand''s Atlas Shrugged.
Following the Republicans' victories in the 2010 mid-term elections, Ryan was named Chair of the House Budget Committee. Father: Paul D. Ryan, Sr. (d.)
