Born on August 20, 1935, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he’s best known for his libertarian-leaning views, advocating for limited government, free markets, and a non-interventionist foreign policy. He ran for president three times: in 1988 as the Libertarian Party nominee, and in 2008 and 2012 as a Republican, gaining a passionate following, especially among younger voters, for his consistent principles and criticism of the Federal Reserve.

He trained as an obstetrician-gynecologist, served in the Air Force during the 1960s, and has written books like The Revolution: A Manifesto to spread his ideas. After retiring from Congress, he’s stayed active through speaking, writing, and platforms like the Ron Paul Liberty Report.
