(Amber Arnold/Wisconsin State Journal/AP)Five days ago, Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) announced that his guest for the State of the Union would be Randy “Ironstache” Bryce, a union organizer who happens to be the most likely opponent of House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.). “It’s important to be there in person to hold Speaker Ryan accountable since he won’t hold a public town hall in the District,” Bryce said. Bryce could run against Ryan, but to give him a prime seat in the House gallery was too much. Worse, Mr. Bryce is using it as a tool to actively raise campaign funds.”[This union ironworker wants Paul Ryan’s job. Bryce said his intent was to sit and watch quietly, as his campaign ran an ad during State of the Union coverage in Wisconsin.
