Son of the popular Congressman Ron Paul, Rand is a junior Senator from Kentucky and is considered to be a part of the Tea Party movement that his father's supporters started on Dec. 16, 2007. Despite having been newly elected, he is already proving himself to be among one of the few principled politicians to enter Washington, apart from his father.
Paul was sworn in on January 5, 2011 along with his father, marking the first time in congressional history that a child served in the Senate while the parent simultaneously served in the House of Representatives.
Although he describes himself as a "constitutional conservative" with libertarian leanings, it's been noted that his positions on the issues are nearly identical to his father's but merely "packaged" differently.

Almost immediately upon entering office, Rand Paul is already following up on his promises on balancing the budget with a legislative proposal to cut $500 billion from federal spending in one year and voted against the re-authorization of the Patriot Act, one of only 2 republican senators to do so.
