abstract	Edward Patrick "Ed" Reagan (July 14, 1850 - October 5, 1928) was an American politician from Pacifica who served as a three-term territorial Governor and later a six-term Senator, taking office upon statehood in June of 1899 and serving until his death in 1928. As Senator, Reagan emerged as the powerful leader of the moderate Western Democrats, becoming a fierce advocate for war with Japan in the 1920s while also lobbying for women's suffrage, expanded labor rights and a robust role for the National Bank in light of the early 1920s economic crisis. The son of Irish immigrants, Reagan was a devout Catholic and a staunch supporter of fellow Democrat Al Smith, whom he considered a personal friend; Reagan became famous in 1924 when he filibustered three inconsequential bills on the Senate floor to defend Roman Catholicism from attacks by Southern Democrats. He died at the age of 78 in October of 1928 after a long illness. Reagan is regarded as a seminal figure in his home state of Pacifica as well - he was a volunteer in the Alaskan War, seeing action at Burrard, Bellingham I and II, Snohomish, Whatcom Pass and at the Delta Campaign. He was promoted to Colonel by the end of the war despite never having attended officer's school, and retired from the Army in 1889 as a highly decorated veteran of the conflict. He was made Speaker of the Fraser Territory Legislature in 1893, and became a fierce advocate for statehood. At the 1898 Statehood Convention in Whiskey Bay, at this point Governor of the Fraser Territory, he brokered a transfer of the state capitol to Whiskey Bay instead of the proposal to place it in Sahalee, agreed that the legislature would appoint one Democrat and one Nationalist to the Senate upon statehood, and elevated John F. Boll, a 75-year old Democratic planter to be Governor upon Statehood. For his efforts, the Edward P. Reagan Government Building is named after him in Whiskey Bay, as is the Ed Reagan State Highway (SR-1) that follows the west coast of Vancouver Island. Edward Reagan High School in Sumner is likewise named after him. In 1999, he was named the #17 most important Senator of the century, and is generally regarded as the finest politician to emerge from Pacifica.
