Brian Doherty on Congress After Ron Paul
For decades, Ron Paul served as the libertarian conscience of Congress. After 12 terms stretching across four decades and three runs for president, Paul chose to retire in January. Now a handful of Republican congressmen are stepping into the breach. Endorsed by Dr. No himself and the Paul-inspired Young Americans for Liberty, Justin Amash, Thomas Massie, Ted Yoho, and Kerry Bentivolio are headed to Washington (or back, in the case of second-termer Amash), where they say they'll defend personal freedom and fiscal responsibility. Reason's Brian Doherty interviews them about their governing philosophies, the state of Congress, and whether they seek to be national leaders for a post-Paul liberty movement.
