Democratic candidate Randy Bryce tweets Paul Ryan a job application

Paul Ryan will be out of his job as House speaker in November, and a Democrat running for his seat, Randy Bryce, already has an idea of a new career path for the Wisconsin Republican.

"Let's trade places, Paul Ryan. You can come work the iron, and I'll go to D.C.," Bryce said when announcing his campaign in June.

Now, Bryce is following through. After Ryan announced on Wednesday that he wouldn't seek re-election, Bryce tweeted at Ryan a link to apply for an apprenticeship position in the Ironworkers Local 8 union.

"Hey @SpeakerRyan, I'm a man of my word," Bryce said along with the link.

Bryce, a mustached union ironworker running for Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District, gained Internet fame when he announced his run to take down Ryan.

Bryce's campaign has placed a large emphasis on workers' issues. He supports strengthening unions and raising minimum wage to $15 per hour.

Bryce has already raised $2.1 million in the most recent fundraising quarter.

After Ryan announced his decision to step down, Bryce quickly claimed victory. "WE JUST REPEALED PAUL RYAN," he tweeted.
