Executive summary: US Senator from Wisconsin Businessman who became a millionaire after taking charge of the plastics business founded by his brother-in-law. In 2010, spending $8M of his own money, defeated three-term Democrat Russ Feingold after winning the Republican nomination for Senate as a Tea Party candidate. He favors small government, tarring Obama health care as "the greatest single assault on our freedom." But he supports the USA PATRIOT Act, opposed by many Tea Party followers. Johnson considers himself to be of libertarian bent, being a devotee of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, which he calls his "foundational book."
