Fulton Jarvis Redman (March 12, 1885 – September 11, 1969) was a Maine politician and newspaper editor. He was born in Ellsworth and was elected as a Republican to a term in the Maine House of Representatives in 1916. He later joined the Democratic Party and was one of the state organization's most prominent leaders during the first half of the 20th century. He was twice a delegate to the Democratic National Convention: first in 1924 and then in 1940. He ran for the U.S. Senate three times: in 1924 (against Bert M. Fernald), in 1926 (against Arthur R.
