Media is describing him as a former “Republican candidate” because he ran in the primary against Ryan hoping that to cause confusion because of having the same name. He was never endorsed by the GOP and has been a far leftist leader behind Scott Walker protests.

A Wisconsin man is accused of trying to buy a lethal dose of a radioactive substance on the Internet to try and kill someone.
Justin Tolomeo, Special Agent in Charge of the Milwaukee Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a news release Jeremy Ryan, 30, of the Town of Madison has been charged with attempted possession of radioactive material with intent to cause death.
Ryan allegedly attempted to buy the lethal dose in March and October of 2018. He was arrested on Tuesday.
Ryan, who was dubbed “Segway Boy” faced multiple felony drug charges in 2016. He got the nickname after he was seen riding a Segway around the state capitol in 2011 taunting Republican lawmakers.
