Rand Paul is a U.S. Senator from Kentucky who is running for the 2016 Republican nomination.

Rand Paul, 53, is following in the footsteps of his father, former congressman andpresidential candidate Ron Paul. Despite what many thought could be a successful bid by building on his fathers campaigns in the last two cycles and strong Tea Party support, the younger Paulhasnt been able to break into the top tierof candidates.

Rand shares many of the libertarian views that his father is known for, but also has displayed differences that bring him closer to the mainstream of the Republican Party. He has also been known as one of thestaunchest opponents of the Patriot Act, which has both boosted and cost him support during his political career.

Prior to his time in the Senate, Paul worked as an ophthalmologist.

He is married to Kelley Paul. They have three children Robert, Duncan and William.

Rand Paul dropped out of the Republican presidential race on February 3rd, 2016.
