Representative, Texas · 1976–1977, 1979–1985, 1997–2013
Ron Paul
Libertarian Republican. End the Fed, non-intervention, and a no vote on most of the modern state.
Ron Paul is on the former-members chart, not the current Congress. The office on file is Representative, Texas, 1976–1977, 1979–1985, 1997–2013. The placement note is: Libertarian Republican. End the Fed, non-intervention, and a no vote on most of the modern state.
The dot is economics +58 and authority -62. That is right of center on economics. The other axis sits toward liberty. Former members are placed from the public career, not from a 119th Congress Voteview score.
Said: End the Fed, bring the troops home, and vote no. Done: He voted no, for decades. Almost none of the positive agenda became law. The placement follows what the career did when the two diverge.
The nearest other former members on these two numbers are William Borah (+18 / -8) and Jack Kemp (+48 / +8). Nearness is not a school of thought.
This page does not add votes that are not in the placement note. The bills themselves are in the Congressional Record for those years.
