FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Texas college student John Ramsey stands out in a new campaign finance world order filled with big names like Republican casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and Democratic Hollywood producer Jeffrey Katzenberg.
The senior at Stephen F. Austin University is the founder of a team of college-age Republicans that has helped propel one congressional candidate to victory and intends to get involved in other House races. Liberals have dubbed his political action group the "Brat PAC."
It's not just his age — Ramsey is 21 — that sets him apart. There's his source of means: He turned $1 million of his inheritance into the Liberty For All Political Action Committee.
Ramsey is part of an army of young Ron Paul supporters who have turned their attention to federal, state and local races.
