Michele Reagan

Rep. Michele Reagan was born in Rockford, Illinois, grew up in the Chicago-land area and graduated from Illinois State University. She moved to Arizona with her family in 1991 where they operated FASTSIGNS on Central Avenue in Phoenix for 10 years. During that period, Michele was very active in civic and business organizations as a volunteer.

Michele also became politically active in the Republican Party and began by serving as a volunteer for a Phoenix City Councilman. Later she became an officer of the Young Republicans and worked diligently on various campaigns.

Michele is very passionate about small business issues and felt Arizona needed some business minds down at the State Capitol. So, in 2001 she decided she would run and was elected to the House of Representatives in 2002. She was the first freshman legislator to get a bill enacted in 2003.

In 2004 the Speaker of the House chose Rep. Reagan to be the Chairman of the House Commerce Committee. She is the youngest female to hold this position. Michele also serves on the Ways and Means Committee, the Ethics committee, and the Environment Committee.

Michele stays active in our community with several groups such as Las Rancheras Republican Women, Paradise Republican Women, Palo Verde Republican Women, Fountain Lake Republican Women, Scottsdale Republican Forum, Fountain Hills Republican Club and the Arizona Small Business Association. She was also President of her Homeowners Association for 6 years and the former Treasurer of District 8 as well as being a precinct committeeman and state committeeman for over 10 years.

Last year, Michele was selected to represent the United States with a delegation traveling to Australia for the American Council of Young Political Leaders out of Washington D.C. They spent three weeks meeting with political, business and cultural leaders at Australia’s national and local levels.

Rep. Reagan was listed as one of the most effective legislators in 2007. She is newly married and lives in Scottsdale.
