Robert L. Regula (January 18, 1923 – May 19, 1996) was a Democratic politician who served in the General Assembly in the U.S. state of Ohio in 1978.

Life[]

Regula was born in Bucks, Tuscarawas County, Ohio, to Alvin G. and Emma E. Regula.[1] He entered the US Army in January 1943, during World War II.[2] After the war he lived in Canton, worked at Ohio Bell Telephone, and was active in local politics. As an employee of the Ohio Bell Telephone Company and a former township trustee, Regula was appointed to succeed Representative Irene Smart in 1978, whose seat became vacant when she was appointed to a judiciary position.[3] Soon after his appointment, Regula won a tough primary battle for the Democratic nomination.[4] He lost the general election to Chuck Red Ash a popular high school football coach. Regula spent one year, or half a term, in the Ohio House of Representatives.

Regula remained active in local politics, but held no further public office. He died in Canton in 1996, age 73.
