Trade adjustment assistance
On June 12, 2015, the House rejected the trade adjustment assistance (TAA) measure in HR 1314—the Trade Act of 2015—by a vote of 126-302. Trade adjustment assistance (TAA) is a federal program providing American workers displaced by foreign trade agreements with job training and services. The measure was packaged with trade promotion authority (TPA), also known as fast-track authority. TPA is a legislative procedure that allows Congress to define "U.S. negotiating objectives and spells out a detailed oversight and consultation process for during trade negotiations. Under TPA, Congress retains the authority to review and decide whether any proposed U.S. trade agreement will be implemented," according to the Office of the United States Trade Representative. Ryan was one of 86 Republicans to vote in favor of TAA.[53][54]
Trade promotion authority
On June 12, 2015, the House passed the trade promotion authority (TPA) measure in HR 1314—the Trade Act of 2015 —by a vote of 219-211. TPA gives the president fast-track authority to negotiate trade agreements sent to Congress without the opportunity for amendment or filibuster.

The amendment passed by a vote of 218-208, with all voting members of the House maintaining their original positions on TPA except for Ted Yoho (R-Fla.). Ryan was one of 190 Republicans to vote in favor of the amendment.[57][58]
Trade adjustment assistance second vote
The House passed HR 1295—the Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015—on June 25, 2015, by a vote of 286-138. The Senate packaged trade adjustment assistance (TAA) in this bill after the House rejected the TAA measure in HR 1314—the Trade Act of 2015. Along with trade promotion authority (TPA), which Congress passed as part of HR 2146—the Defending Public Safety Employees' Retirement Act—TAA became law on June 29, 2015.

See also: Iran nuclear agreement, 2015

On May 14, 2015, the House approved HR 1191—the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015—by a vote of 400-25. The bill required President Barack Obama to submit the details of the nuclear deal with Iran for congressional review. Congress had 60 days to review the deal and vote to approve, disapprove, or take no action on the deal. During the review period, sanctions on Iran could not be lifted. Ryan voted with 222 other Republican representatives to approve the bill.[69][70]

HR 3460 prohibited "the President, prior to January 21, 2017, from: limiting the application of specified sanctions on Iran or refraining from applying any such sanctions; or removing a foreign person (including entities) listed in Attachments 3 or 4 to Annex II of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPA) from the list of designated nationals and blocked persons maintained by the Office of Foreign Asset Control of the Department of the Treasury." Ryan voted with 244 Republicans and two Democrats for the bill.[73][74]

Presidential non-compliance of section 2
On September 10, 2015, the House passed H Res 411—Finding that the President has not complied with section 2 of the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015—by a vote of 245-186. Section 2 of the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 required the president to submit all materials related to the nuclear agreement for congressional review.

#### National security[edit]

##### NDAA[edit]

Ryan voted for HR 1960 - the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. The bill passed the House on June 14, 2013, with a vote of 315 - 108. Both parties were somewhat divided on the vote.[91]

##### DHS Appropriations[edit]

Ryan voted for HR 2217 - the DHS Appropriations Act of 2014. The bill passed the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 245 - 182 that was largely along party lines.[92]

##### Keystone Pipeline Amendment[edit]

Ryan voted against House Amendment 69, which would have amended HR 3 to "require that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security, conduct a study of the vulnerabilities of the Keystone XL pipeline to a terrorist attack and certify that necessary protections have been put in place." The amendment failed on May 22, 2013, with a vote of 176 - 239 and was largely along party lines.[93]

##### CISPA (2013)[edit]

Ryan voted for HR 624 - the CISPA (2013). The bill passed the House on April 18, 2013, with a vote of 288 - 127. The bill permitted federal intelligence agencies to share cybersecurity intelligence and information with private entities and utilities. The bill was largely supported by Republicans, but divided the Democratic Party.[94]

#### Economy[edit]

##### Farm bill[edit]

On January 29, 2014, the U.S. House approved the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013, H.R. 2642, also known as the Farm Bill.[95] The bill passed by a vote of 251-166. The nearly 1,000-page bill reformed and continued various programs of the Department of Agriculture through 2018. The $1 trillion bill expanded crop insurance for farmers by $7 billion over the next decade and created new subsidies for rice and peanut growers that would kick in when prices drop.[96][97] It also cut the food stamp program an average of $90 per month for 1.7 million people in 15 states.[97] Ryan voted with 161 other Republican representatives in favor of the bill.

##### 2014 Budget[edit]

On January 15, 2014, the Republican-run House approved H.R. 3547, a $1.1 trillion spending bill to fund the government through September 30, 2014.[98][99] The House voted 359-67 for the 1,582-page bill, with 64 Republicans and three Democrats voting against the bill.[99] The omnibus package included 12 annual spending bills to fund federal operations.[100] It increased the paychecks of federal workers and military personnel by 1 percent, increased Head Start funding for early childhood education by $1 billion, reduced funding to the Internal Revenue Service and the Environmental Protection Agency, and protected the Affordable Care Act from any drastic cuts. Ryan voted with the majority of the Republican Party in favor of the bill.[98]

##### Report on budget[edit]

In a March 2014 report critiquing the budget situation, Ryan developed his own proposal of programs to cut. Among those programs were welfare, child care, college Pell grants and other assistance programs.[101] In the short term, Ryan's proposal attempted to introduce some concrete Republican solutions to reverse perceptions that the GOP had become simply the party of "no" in opposition to Obama.[101] "This report will help start the conversation. It shows that some programs work; others don't. And for many of them, we just don't know. Clearly, we can do better," Ryan said.[101]

##### Government shutdown[edit]

See also: United States budget debate, 2013

On September 30, 2013, the House passed a final stopgap spending bill before the shutdown went into effect. The bill included a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate and would have also stripped the bill of federal subsidies for congressional members and staff. It passed through the House with a vote of 228-201.[102] At 1 a.m. on October 1, 2013, one hour after the shutdown officially began, the House voted to move forward with going to a conference. In short order, Sen. Harry Reid rejected the call to conference.[103] Ryan voted to approve the stopgap spending bill that would have delayed the individual mandate.[104]

The shutdown ended on October 16, 2013, when the House took a vote on HR 2775 after it was approved by the Senate. The bill to reopen the government lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funded the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[105] The House passed the legislation shortly after the Senate, by a vote of 285-144, with all 144 votes against the legislation coming from Republican members. Ryan voted against HR 2775.[106]

##### Farm Bill[edit]

See also: United States Farm Bill 2013

#### Immigration[edit]

##### Morton Memos Prohibition[edit]

Ryan voted for House Amendment 136 - Prohibits the Enforcement of the Immigration Executive Order. The amendment was adopted by the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 224 - 201. The purpose of the amendment as stated on the official text is to "prohibit the use of funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the Morton Memos." These memos would have granted administrative amnesty to certain individuals residing in the United States without legal status.[109] The vote largely followed party lines.[110]

#### Healthcare[edit]

##### Healthcare Reform Rules[edit]

Ryan voted for House Amendment 450 - Requires Congressional Approval for Any Rules Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The amendment was adopted by the House on August 2, 2013, with a vote of 227-185. The amendment requires that all changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act be approved by Congress before taking effect. The vote was largely along party lines.[111]

#### Government affairs[edit]

See also: Boehner's lawsuit against the Obama administration

Five Republicans—Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Paul Broun of Georgia, Scott Garrett of New Jersey, Walter Jones of North Carolina and Steve Stockman of Texas—voted with Democrats against the lawsuit.[113] Ryan joined the other 224 Republicans in favor of the lawsuit. All Democrats voted against the resolution.[114][115]

#### Previous congressional sessions[edit]

##### Fiscal Cliff[edit]

He was 1 of 85 Republicans that voted in favor of the bill. The bill was passed in the House by a 257-167 vote on January 1, 2013.[116]

## Issues[edit]

### 2015 leadership election[edit]

See also: U.S. House leadership elections, 2015

The House elected Ryan to be the chamber's 54th speaker on October 29, 2015. Ryan received 236 votes on the House floor, above the 218 he needed to be elected speaker.[117][118] His election came after the House Republican conference selected Ryan as its nominee for speaker at a closed-door meeting October 28, 2015. [119] Ryan announced his candidacy for speaker on October 22, 2015, after he made comments on October 20, 2015, that he would seek the speaker position only if House Republicans agreed to certain conditions, to be met by October 23, 2015, including getting the endorsement of the two conservative and one moderate caucuses within the conference. He also demanded a change to House rules to make it harder for a simple majority to oust the speaker and to delegate the lion's share of the speaker's travel and fundraising duties. Two of the three groups endorsed him for speaker. And while he did not get the endorsement of the conservative Freedom Caucus, which frequently clashed with the previous speaker, he did get a pledge from the group that a supermajority of its roughly 40 members would back him. He also decided to delay the discussion on changing the rules until after October 23, 2015, in a concession to the Freedom Caucus, which had been wary of a change.[120] Ryan faced pressure to run after U.S. Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) stepped down and U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Cal.), the leading candidate to replace Boehner, withdrew from the race.[121]

### Book deal[edit]

Ryan published his second book, "Where Do We Go From Here?" in August 2014. His first book, "Young Guns: A New Generation of Conservative Leaders," was co-authored with Republican Reps. Eric Cantor and Kevin McCarthy in 2010.[122]

### 2016 presidential endorsement[edit]

✓ Ryan endorsed Donald Trump for the Republican primary in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.[123]

On January 12, 2015, Ryan announced that he would not run for president in 2016. He said, "It is amazing the amount of encouragement I have gotten from people - from friends and supporters - but I feel like I am in a position to make a big difference where I am and I want to do that," he said, referring to his role as chair of the House Ways and Means Committee.[131]

##### Ballotpedia Battleground Poll (June 10-22, 2016)[edit]

See also: Ballotpedia's battleground poll, 2016

Ballotpedia partnered with Evolving Strategies and surveyed voters across seven states (June 10 – 22) regarding their vote preferences. We tested six election scenarios. In one set, we matched Hillary Clinton (D) in a series of two-way contests with Donald Trump (R), Ohio Governor John Kasich (R), and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R). In the second set, we matched these same candidates in a series of three-way contests that also included former governor Gary Johnson.

In all seven states, Clinton polled higher than Trump. The tightest battleground race between the two frontrunners was in Iowa, where Clinton led Trump by a weighted 4 percentage points. Clinton saw the largest lead in Michigan, where she led Trump by a weighted 17 percentage points. Comparatively, John Kasich polled ahead of Clinton in five of the seven states, and Paul Ryan polled ahead of Clinton in three states.

Evolving Strategies and Ballotpedia surveyed 4,242 registered voters, with a margin of error of +/-4.0%.

### 2012[edit]

See also: Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District elections, 2012

Ryan won re-election in 2012.[133] He was unopposed in the Republican primary and defeated Rob Zerban (D) and Keith Deschler (L) in the November general election.[134]

While Ryan was selected by Mitt Romney on August 11 to be his running mate, Wisconsin law allowed Ryan to pursue his House re-election at the same time. If Ryan had been elected for both offices, the state would have held a special election to fill his U.S. House seat.[135]

In 2011 redistricting, The Hill published a list of the "Top Ten House Members" who were helped by redistricting.[136] Ryan ranked ninth on the list.[136] The article noted that the redistricting process, controlled by Republicans in the state House, was rushed through rather quickly ahead of recalls happening in the state, and added a few more points to the Republican base in Ryan's district.[136]

## Personal Gain Index[edit]

See also: Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress)

The Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress) is a two-part measurement that illustrates the extent to which members of the U.S. Congress have prospered during their tenure as public servants.
It consists of two different metrics:

* Changes in Net Worth
* The Donation Concentration Metric

### PGI: Change in net worth[edit]

See also: Changes in Net Worth of U.S. Senators and Representatives (Personal Gain Index) and Net worth of United States Senators and Representatives

Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Ryan's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $2,206,097 to $8,605,000. That averages to $5,405,548.50, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican House members in 2012 of $7,614,097.96. Ryan ranked as the 69th most wealthy representative in 2012.[159] Between 2004 and 2012, Ryan‘s calculated net worth[160] increased by an average of 22 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[161]

Paul Ryan Yearly Net Worth

Year| Average Net Worth
2004| $1,950,206
2012| $5,405,548
Growth from 2004 to 2012:| 177%
Average annual growth:| 22%[162]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[163]

The data used to calculate changes in net worth may include changes resulting from assets gained through marriage, inheritance, changes in family estates and/or trusts, changes in family business ownership, and many other variables unrelated to a member's behavior in Congress.

### PGI: Donation Concentration Metric[edit]

See also: The Donation Concentration Metric (U.S. Congress Personal Gain Index)

Filings required by the Federal Election Commission report on the industries that give to each candidate. Using campaign filings and information calculated by OpenSecrets.org, Ballotpedia calculated the percentage of donations by industry received by each incumbent over the course of his or her career (or 1989 and later, if elected prior to 1988). In the 113th Congress, Ryan was the chair of the Budget Committee. Ryan received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Retired industry. Comparatively, the top industry employer in Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District was Educational services, and health care and social assistance, according to a 2012 U.S. Census survey.[164]

From 1997-2014, 24.09 percent of Ryan's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[165]
