*As shown on the details page, Paul Ryan made quite a few visits to Wisconsin, including visits to his home to Janesville on most weekends,. The home visits, for which I do not have complete information, complicate the tally; I've not put numbers on the Ryan visits. For Ryan's Janesville visits the calendars above show when he did an event or activity noted in the press.
