Bonnie Lineweaver Paul (born June 6, 1940) is a Virginia lawyer and Republican politician, who represented a district in the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Virginia House of Delegates for two terms.
Bonnie Lineweaver was born in Harrisonburg, Virginia on June 6, 1940. She attended the local public schools, graduated from Harrisonburg High School, then attended Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, receiving her degree in 1962. She then returned to her hometown and attended undergraduate and graduate level courses at James Madison University, from which she received a J.D. degree both in 1983.
She married John Abbott Paul, nephew of senior U.S. District Judge John Paul Jr. in June 1963. They have two sons and a daughter.
In 1975, voters from Rockingham, Page, and Shenandoah Counties elected incumbent Republican I. Clinton Miller and Mrs. Paul to represent them in the Virginia House of Delegates (a part-time position). Both out-polled Democrat William B. Allen III and Nancy B. Jones for the two-seat district. Two years later, both out-polled Democrat Rita Lancaster.
Mrs. Paul, who ran as a housewife, had been active in the local League of Women Voters and from 1974-1975 had served as a director of the Shenandoah Valley Soil and Water Conservation District, as well as on the Virginia Public Telecommunications Council (1973-75) and the Overall Advisory Council on Needs of Handicapped Children and Adults.
