Dover, Del. – Republican Ronald G. Poliquin is set to formally announce his campaign for the for the 31st District State Representative House seat. Poliquin will be announcing his candidacy at the Golden Fleece Tavern on Thursday, March 8th at 5:30 pm. Poliquin lost by 14 votes to Ron Smith in the Republican primary in his last run for office in 2010.

Poliquin will be challenging incumbent Democrat Darryl Scott. “It is unconscionable for the politicians to increase taxes and government spending for those who could least afford it. Rather than confront out of control spending, the professional politicians cater to special interests while sacrificing taxpayers at the altar of big government,”

“Since my last campaign, state government has increased its debt burden upon the next generation. The state has accumulated bills of $8.6 billion. Our rising debt is a state emergency. The current crop of politicians don’t get it. Mr. Scott doesn’t get it. That’s why we need change.”

As an attorney, Poliquin successfully litigated a groundbreaking Taxpayer Rights lawsuit declaring over $200 million in taxpayer money being held illegally. Poliquin also litigated a Taxpayers Rights case resulting in a $50,000.00 scholarship fund for high school students promoting open and honest government.

Poliquin is an attorney and owner of the Law Firm of Ronald G. Poliquin, P.A. in Downtown Dover. The firm is dedicated to protecting employment and civil rights. His cases have been featured in publications such as USA Today, The Heartland Institute's Budget and Tax News, and Delaware Law Weekly. He is member of the Dover Downtown Rotary, the City of Dover Parking Authority, and Holy Cross Church.

Poliquin is married to Maria T. Poliquin and they have a four (4) year old son, Ronin, and two (2) year old, daughter Lillian.
