Pauget held a seat in the Departmental Council of Alpes-Maritimes from 2001 until his resignation in 2017, first for the canton of Antibes-Biot until 2015, then for the canton of Antibes-3. He held one of the departmental council's vice presidencies from 2015 until 2017 under the presidency of Éric Ciotti.

Since 1995, he has been a municipal councillor of Antibes. He served as a deputy mayor from 2001 to 2017; he was first deputy mayor from 2012.

In parliament, Pauget serves on the Committee on Economic Affairs.[4] In addition to his committee assignments, he is part of the French-Israeli Parliamentary Friendship Group.[4]

In 2018, Pauget joined the leadership of Soyons Libres as a vice president (while remaining a member of The Republicans), a minor party of which he has been a member since 2017 and where he is in charge of relations with the National Assembly.[5]

In the run-up to the Republicans’ 2022 convention, Pauget endorsed Éric Ciotti as the party's chairman.[6]
