===Connection to Mark Foley===
After Rep. [[Mark Foley]] resigned in October 2006, following revelations he had sent sexually explicit emails to teenaged congressional pages, Ryun contended that he barely knew Foley, had never spent time with him, and was unaware that they lived directly across the street from each other in [[Washington, DC]]. "I know that [we were neighbors] only because somebody has mentioned that, too, already," he told reporters at the time. Later, though, Ryun and Foley were found to have hosted a joint fundraiser on their street on May 18, 2006, called the "D Street Block Party". An invitation to the fundraiser included side-by-side pictures of Ryun and Foley. Ryun's campaign manager later said that Ryun had always known he was Foley's neighbor.<ref>{{cite news |author=Moon, Chris |url=http://cjonline.com/stories/102306/loc_ryunboyda1.shtml |title=Ryun's story on Foley changes: Congressman has always known who lived across street |newspaper=The Topeka Capital-Journal |date=October 23, 2006 |access-date=November 16, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061103012733/http://cjonline.com/stories/102306/loc_ryunboyda1.shtml |archive-date=November 3, 2006 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref>
