Taking a Stand

Senator Rand Paul, leading national politician and likely contender for the 2016 presidential bid, presents his vision for America.

In his four years since joining the Senate, Rand Paul has risen to the forefront of the national discussion. Now considered a major presidential contender, he's being called the most interesting Republican because he doesn't strictly follow the establishment. When he believes in an issue, he reaches across the aisle to collaborate with his colleagues. Recently, he's worked with Senator Kristen Gillibrand on an antiwar bill, a financial assistance for childcare bill, and a protection for women in the military bill. He's also worked with Senator Cory Booker to reform the nation's criminal justice system. During his speeches at CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) and University of California at Berkley, he's received standing ovations from both conservatives and liberals alike.
