During his two decades on Capitol Hill, Ryan said he commuted back and forth from Wisconsin to D.C. every week and didn’t live in Washington. He was known for being one of several lawmakers to sleep in their offices and did so during his time as Speaker.

Ryan retired a little more than three years after becoming Speaker and has since started the nonprofit American Idea Foundation, which will still be based in his hometown, Politico noted.
