politics

During his school days in the mid-1980s, Paul was a member of the SPD party youth. The Young Socialists , he left to start studying law and joined after a long break in 1997 the FDP at. From April 2006 to March 2010 he was deputy chairman of the FDP district association Hersfeld-Rotenburg.

From March 2008 to June 2013 Paulus was a member of the Hersfeld-Rotenburg district assembly and from May 16, 2011 its deputy chairman.

In the state elections in Hesse in 2009 , Paulus ran unsuccessfully in the Rotenburg constituency , but moved up to the state parliament via the FDP state list after Nicola Beer became state secretary and her state parliament mandate was therefore suspended.

Paulus is a member of the State Association of Liberal Lawyers in Hesse.

On May 5, 2013, he left the FDP and switched to the alternative for Germany . He was a non-attached member of the state parliament . The FDP reacted angrily and asked Paulus to give up his mandate. The chairman of the FDP parliamentary group, Wolfgang Greilich , said that Paulus had "not fulfilled his obligations under the mandate for months since it became clear to him that the FDP would not nominate him again." The FDP state chairman, Jörg-Uwe Hahn , also accused him of having “evaded his mandate” and, according to a report in the weekly newspaper Die Zeit , spoke of “medical certificates” submitted by Paulus. Paul rejected the statements of Hahn and Greilich as "insolence". He justified the transfer with the "insane euro support course of the FDP". A month and a half later, he resigned from the AfD, in which he failed with a candidacy to second place in the state elections in Hesse in 2013 , and announced his retirement from politics.
