Dr. Rand Paul (born January 7, 1963) is the conservative junior United States Senator from Kentucky. His father is Ron Paul. Rand Paul was not[1] named after objectivist and libertarian author Ayn Rand.
Unlike many politicians of both major political parties, Rand Paul supports sharply reducing the size of government.
In 2010, he won the Republican primary after defeating moderate candidate Trey Grayson by a landslide. Despite intense opposition by liberals and the lamestream media, Rand Paul then won by a landslide the general election against Democrat Jack Conway in the 2010 Midterm Election. This was the seat formerly held by Jim Bunning who endoresed Paul in Republican primaries.
