Jack W. Reagan (May 1, 1985 - May 10, 2022) was an American attorney and law maker who served as the United States Attorney General in April 2021. He currently serves as the Lincoln Attorney General in the Richard Holland Administration and the GOP Deputy Leader. Prior to today, Jack Reagan was the House Minority Leader and he had served in a multitude of Leadership positions. He also sits on the RNC and GOP Campaign Committee.

### **Early life and education**

Jack Reagan was born in Orlando Florida, a large town in the Great state of Florida. His father was a businessman and his mother a homemaker and volunteer with the GOP Rockefeller Caucus; he has a older brother, who also served in Congress, named Jayden Padilla.

### **U.S House of Representatives**

In the fall of 2020, Jack Reagan announced his intention to seek the GOP/Libertarian/Democrat nomination in Florida's 2nd House District (Now Pacifica) to run against eight-term Socialist incumbent Charles Lindenburg Taylor. Florida's 2nd District covered a good size of Florida and was home to Orlando. Jack Reagan had easily won the Republican Nomination, but fell short of receiving the Nomination of the Libertarian/Democrats. The Libertarians had nominated Free Market Martin and the Democrats had continued to support Charles Lindenburg Taylor.

Reagan was a tough target for opponents. His views on social issues were in line with the fairly Progressive district and he did not have a record for opponents to attack. His campaign points were based on supporting moving into the 21st Century by supporting Gay Marriage and abortion rights for woman who really need it. Lindenburg Taylor, an former Union Leader, campaigned on his ability to fight for the workers. Shortly after, with polls showing Lindenburg Taylor trailing, *The American Conservative News* ran a story about bad spending habits that Lindenburg Taylor had used while leading his Union. Lindenburg Taylor poured $4.5 million of his own money into his race, compared with Reagan's $1.8 million and Free Market Martin's $18,000.

In the November election, Reagan won with 51 percent of the vote to Lindenburg Taylor's 46 percent. He carried half of the District's counties, including several that had reliably supported Lindenburg Taylor and Socialists over the years. He even won Taylor's home county. Reagan was one of only two Republicans to defeat an Socialist incumbent in the South that year. His victory gave the Republicans the Seat for the first time in Decades.

### **District 2 (Now Pacifica) Governor bid**

Few months after being elected to the House, Reagan had announced hat he would run for the new position of Governor of District 2; he formally announced his election campaign not long after his initial announcement. During the Republican primary, Reagan announced that he would pick Attorney General/SCOTUS Nominee James Perey as his running mate, he would later go on to secure the Republican nomination, but lost the Democrat/Libertarian support to Itachi Akataski (Tom Saver). Reagan was endorsed by the *Orlando Times* and many other Prominent GOP Officials, his campaign would end up facing a big blow with Senator Loulou and many big Progressive officials endorsing Itachi (Seaver). In the general election, Reagan lost to Libertarian/Democrat supported candidate/nominee Itachi (Seaver) but fought back against many expectations. Many say that if Reagan would have won the Governor Election, the direction of District 2 (Now Pacifica) would be very pushed to the Centrist Right.

### **Term in the House**

Oddly as a freshman congressman, Reagan was appointed to the RNC and Deputy Whip. Republican leader Reyes appointed him as Deputy Leader, he would end up serving as Deputy Leader 4 times, a position which he still holds today. He was also one of the founding members of the GOP Campaign Committee.

With an influential committee post (Ways and Means), Reagan has made economic policy the focus of his career, with various success, as he worked to prevent a Government Shutdown and worked to further Education in America. He has served on Ways and Means for 6 months. For his tenure as the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee in the 139th Congress, Reagan earned an "A+" grade from the non-partisan Lugar Center's Congressional Oversight Hearing Index.

### **Attorney General Appointment**

President Jose Battle selected Reagan for the position of United States attorney general, with news of the selection being leaked days before. In House confirmation hearings, Reagan vowed to oversee vigorous prosecution of those who evade taxes, and other crimes. He pledged to protect equal justice under law and reinvigorate the Civil Rights Division. Reagan affirmed that the Justice Department would remain independent under his leadership. He was officially confirmed by the House in a nailbreaking vote, with being confirmed by about 10 votes. The vote had a record level of *100* Representatives on his nomination.
