Adrienne Paul

Adrienne Paul is a Republican candidate for the Maine House of Representatives, District 85, in the 2026 primary election. Her political aspirations were inspired by her personal struggle as a CNA facing high childcare costs, which led her to establish and expand a childcare center now licensed for 80 children. She is running to address what she perceives as overregulation crushing childcare providers and families. Her platform emphasizes common-sense regulatory reform for accessible and affordable childcare, attracting more healthcare professionals through reciprocal licensing, increasing housing supply by cutting red tape, and cutting taxes while reducing government spending and combating waste.
