Ron Paul (born August 20, 1935) represents the Texas 14th congressional district in the U.S. Congress. Although elected as a Republican Party candidate, he is known for his free market libertarian ideology, which frequently conflicts with his fellow Republicans. His regular votes against almost all government spending, taxes, and new programs have earned him the nickname "Dr. No".
Ron Paul was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He recieved his doctorate of medicine from Duke University School of Medicine. He served as a surgeon for the United States Air Force in the 1960s. In 1968 he and his wife Carol moved to Texas, where they reside in the town of Surfside Beach.
Dr. Paul was first elected to Congress in 1976. In 1984, he voluntarily relinquished his seat and returned to private practice as an obstetrician/gynecology. In 1988, Dr. Paul won the nomination of the Libertarian Party for the U.S. Presidency. He spent the year campaigning across the country on a platform of limited government, low taxes, and personal liberty, eventually placing third behind George Bush and Michael Dukakis.
