My name is Reagan Paul (and yes I was named after President Ronald Reagan). I am a Christian Constitutional Conservative serving as a Republican for the Maine House of Representatives for District 37 which includes Winterport, Prospect, Stockton Springs, Searsport, and part of Frankfort. I was born and raised in Maine, am 25 years old, and graduated from Liberty University with dual bachelor's degrees in Christian Entrepreneurship and Digital Marketing/Advertising. I am a small business owner, partner in a telecom consulting company and VP of marketing for my family's small business which employs 60 hard-working Mainers. I am also a new homeowner of a beautiful farm in the river town of Winterport and have a vested interest in the well-being and future of District 37.
I have been a Representative that has stood for limited government, personal responsibility, and a state government that is fiscally prudent. I will continue to fight for school funding that follows the student, small businesses being free to operate without excessive regulation, energy policies that provide reliable and affordable energy for all Mainers, reduced taxes, photo ID for voting, 2nd amendment protections and the sanctity of life. I have always voted for equal protection under the law, being mindful to vote constitutionally not politically. That is how I represent all my constituents, with varying beliefs and opinions- I uphold my oath and protect the inalienable rights granted to each of us.
My Platform
Protect Maine Jobs
As a small business owner, I understand local businesses will thrive and grow only when Augusta adopts a more pro-business attitude.
Help Reduce Energy Prices
As a homeowner, I know the pinch of Maine’s high electricity costs. Intermittent and unreliable energy sources are driving up our electricity bills and increasing the cost of living
across the board. I will work to invest in energy sources that are good for the taxpayer, ratepayer, and environment.
Protect our Environment
As an Avid Outdoorswoman, I appreciate Maine’s scenic natural resources as a vital part of our state’s economy. I will fight to keep Maine wild and beautiful and be a steward of our natural resources. Our mountains, our farmland, our oceans and places like Sears Island deserve our protection from industrialization.
Reduce Taxes
Maine is home to one of the highest state and local tax burdens in the nation. The State of Maine is flush with cash, and as your State Representative, I know that there’s no reason for it to continue taking so much money from YOU. With persistent inflation, we simply can’t afford it.
Support Parental Rights
Schools should be centers of education, not politically-driven content. As Maine’s education scores continue to drop, it is time to shift back to the basics of learning, recognizing that parental rights and involvement are of utmost importance.
Defend Constitutional Rights
The proper role of government is to protect equal rights, not provide equal things. I will continue to defend God-given individual rights, free speech, the right to bear arms, and promote the principles of economic freedom and limited government.
