Paul D. Ryan, Jr. (born January 29, 1970) is the Republican nominee for Vice President in 2012, as selected by Mitt Romney on August 11. His voting record is solidly pro-life as a U.S. Representative for Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District. He is the chairman of the House Budget Committee.
Ryan is an "Inside the Beltway" type - his background is as a congressional staffer. While he has indicated support for reducing government, some of the specifics in his economic proposals have not been particularly conservative or helpful politically to the Republican Party. His selection as the Republican Vice President 2012 will focus national attention on his economic ideas, steering media attention away from social issues.
