Rep. Ryan build ‘clear-minded’ reputation as policy point-person
(FoxNews.com) – From underpaid Capitol Hill staffer to vice presidential nominee in two decades.
By Washington standards, that ain’t bad.
Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan’s rise had been turning heads long before he was announced Saturday as Mitt Romney’s running mate. His biography and evolution as a conservative standard-bearer now enter Republican Party history.
Far from the “extreme” ideologue that Democrats try to portray him as, though, the 42-year-old lawmaker has charted a career marked by an approach members of both parties described, in less partisan times, as “serious.” Though not afraid to fight on the stump, Ryan’s studious and reserved brand of policymaking is one that almost seems anachronistic in an era marked by pin-drop fights over everything but issues.
