In Jefferson City, Rep. Reed has led efforts to remove unnecessary barriers that prevent immigrants from fully contributing to our communities and economy. He has worked to challenge outdated licensing restrictions that keep qualified DACA recipients and immigrants from entering professions they’ve trained for, including healthcare, where Missouri faces serious workforce shortages.

In his 20s, he understands firsthand the challenges and aspirations of a generation navigating student debt, rising costs, and a rapidly changing world. But more than that, he’s using this office to send a clear message: Young people are not the future of our democracy, they are its present. Every day, he works to ensure that young people in this district and across Missouri feel seen, valued, and empowered. Not just in one way, but in every space where decisions are being made. This government doesn’t belong to a select few, it belongs to all of us, and that includes every young Missourian ready to raise their voice and claim their seat at the table.

Rep. Reed introduced the Heartland Initiative in the Missouri House, a bold, comprehensive plan to position our state as a national leader in combating climate change while creating good-paying jobs here at home. The Heartland Initiative would invest in renewable energy, resilient infrastructure, and innovation across urban, suburban, and rural communities alike. Missouri shouldn’t lag behind, we should lead.

When the moment came to choose between silence and standing up, Rep. Reed chose to lead. In the face of Donald Trump’s latest redistricting push, an effort designed to silence communities and rig the rules, he took a bold, unapologetic stand. Rep. Reed, along with Reps Dean and Fuchs, led a 5 day 125 hour sit-in on the Missouri House floor, bringing the nation's attention to republican overreach in Missouri.Not because it was easy, but because it was right. That leadership didn’t go unnoticed. Democratic leaders across the country from&nbsp;Vice President Kamala Harris&nbsp;to&nbsp;Governor Gavin Newsom,&nbsp;Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and Democratic Party Chairman&nbsp;Ken Martin recognized the courage it takes to stand firm in moments that define our democracy. Protecting fair representation isn’t just policy, it’s principle. Rep. Reed has shown he’s willing to fight for both.

Campaign Videos

Rep. Reed has never been afraid to stand up to extremism in Jefferson City even when that means challenging a Republican supermajority that too often follows the lead of Donald Trump instead of listening to Missourians. When state lawmakers have pushed divisive culture-war bills, attacked reproductive freedom, targeted LGBTQ+ families, or undermined public education, Rep. Reed has spoken out clearly and unapologetically, earning national attention for his leadership and clarity. For Rep. Reed, it’s a tool. He uses it to shine a light on what’s happening in Missouri, to tell the story of District 83’s values and priorities, and to build partnerships that bring resources, energy, and momentum back home. In a moment when state legislatures are shaping the future of our democracy, Rep. Reed ensures our community has a strong, principled voice in the national conversation turning attention into impact for the people he represents.

Ray Reed!</h1><h3>"I am in this fight because my generation inherited a country at a crossroads. One where the promise of democracy is being tested not by our differences, but by whether we still believe in one another. I didn’t come to public service because it was easy or because the system was working; I came because too many people were being told, explicitly and implicitly, that their voices don’t matter, their families don’t belong, and their futures are negotiable."</h3><img src="https://run.imgix.net/436d7889-3a57-40f6-ac34-fb8a2cf3269b/9759af4e-1216-48bf-a983-b8cb2f0c0061/1002b94f-f84c-438d-b68f-a9376c076c86.webp?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C4096%2C1982&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="47" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">Rep. Reed and his wife Natalia, live in Maplewood with their dog, Summer. They are excited to start a family and are experiencing firsthand the hopes, and the pressures that come with building a life in today’s economy. From the cost of housing and childcare to the quality of local public schools, these issues aren’t abstract policy debates for Rep. Reed they’re personal.That’s why he brings the perspective of young families just starting out to Jefferson City. Rep. Reed knows what it’s like to worry about rising costs, to want safe neighborhoods and strong schools, and to believe that Missouri should be a place where the next generation can thrive.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/436d7889-3a57-40f6-ac34-fb8a2cf3269b/a4a942f8-8786-4ed7-baaf-bc2bbcf75882/d1600f58-f442-4c03-80b5-622a09dece0a.webp?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=-2&amp;high=0&amp;shad=16&amp;usm=13&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C4096%2C2730&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="right" alignwidth="50" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">Growing up in Brentwood, Rep. Reed learned early what hard work and community looks like. He saw it in families who showed up for each other, in public schools that shaped young minds, and in neighbors who believed that if you work hard and do right by people, you should have a fair shot at a good life. That belief still drives him today.Before being elected to the Missouri House of Representatives, Rep. Reed served in the Missouri Governor’s Office under Governor Jay Nixon, reviewing legislation, clemency applications, state rules, and gubernatorial appointments gaining firsthand experience in how policy decisions impact real people. He later worked for the Missouri Democratic Party and on the U.S. Senate campaign of Senator Claire McCaskill, fighting to protect healthcare, reproductive freedom, and union jobs for working families.

Rep. Reed opposes Mike Kehoe’s plan to eliminate Missouri’s income tax. That proposal would deliver an overwhelming tax cut to the wealthiest Missourians while shifting the burden onto working families through higher sales taxes. For families in District 83 and across our state, that means paying more at the grocery store, more for school supplies, and more for everyday essentials, all while millionaires pay less. Rep. Reed believes in tax fairness. We can grow our economy without balancing the books on the backs of working people.

An Economy That Works For Everyone

Item 1

In Jeff City, Rep. Reed has stood up to extreme attempts to control women’s bodies and criminalize doctors. Reproductive freedom isn’t abstract, it’s about whether families can make deeply personal decisions with dignity and privacy. Rep. Reed will continue to protect access to:

Reproductive Freedom

"Progress has never come from looking backward or tearing people down, but from ordinary people deciding that cruelty is not leadership, that democracy is worth defending, and that the future belongs to ALL of us." -Rep. Ray Reed

Quote

Endorsements

Healthcare is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. Rep. Reed supports expanding access to affordable healthcare, expanding and protecting Medicaid, strengthening rural hospitals, addressing maternal mortality, and defending coverage for pre-existing conditions. No family should face bankruptcy because someone gets sick. We must lower prescription drug costs and prioritize mental health care, especially for young people.
