<p>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 He has worked to challenge outdated licensing restrictions that keep qualified DACA recipients and immigrants from entering professions they’ve trained for, including healthcare, where Missouri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.</p>

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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<h4>Environmental Justice</h4>

<p>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.</p><p>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.</p>

<h1 style="text-align: center;">Priorities</h1><p style="text-align: center;">In Representative Reed’s first term, we got to work! Delivering real results for working families and proving that a new generation of leadership can meet the moment. From expanding opportunity to standing up for fairness and dignity, this record reflects a simple belief: government should work for the people it serves and with focus and determination, it can.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">In The Capitol</h2><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>In Jefferson City, Ray brings that same grounded perspective with him into every room he enters. From committee hearings to late-night floor debates, he is fully engaged, asking tough questions, building relationships, and pushing for solutions that reflect the real needs of the people he represents. </strong>Colleagues know him as someone who is prepared, thoughtful, and ready to step in when it matters most, making sure his district always has a strong, steady voice at the table.</p><p></p><span class="image image-framed image-center" style="width: 80%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/436d7889-3a57-40f6-ac34-fb8a2cf3269b/fb9e221c-e2af-4ab2-8398-85179e432834/d2e98223-bfd2-4fba-8f85-178d538bac61.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%2C2732&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="40" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="display: none;"></span></span><p style="text-align: center;">While some politicians spend their days behind closed doors with corporate lobbyists, Rep. Reed’s time in Jefferson City reflects where he comes from, and who he’s fighting for. Raised in the working class, he prioritizes time with the people and organizations that keep our communities running, regularly welcoming groups like SEIU Local 1 to the Missouri House floor. <strong>When visitors come to the Capitol, they’re not rushed through a photo op, they’re met with genuine engagement, thoughtful conversation, and a commitment to making sure their voices are not only heard, but valued.</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><span class="image image-framed image-center" style="width: 80%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/436d7889-3a57-40f6-ac34-fb8a2cf3269b/7d2dca71-37e4-43a1-9628-ed96942701cf/09019832-49f2-483b-aac3-5788a561b44e.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%2C2728&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="40" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="display: none;"></span></span><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Rep. Reed carries the responsibility of being the first African American to represent Missouri House District 83 with pride and purpose.</strong> As the only Black man from St. Louis County in the Missouri House, he understands the significance of his role in a state with a complex history, and he embraces the opportunity to serve as a role model for young people of color across Missouri. Through his work with the Missouri Legislative Black Caucus, he has opened doors at the Capitol, hosting students from Harris-Stowe State University and Lincoln University, creating spaces where the next generation can see themselves reflected in leadership and feel inspired to step forward.</p><p></p><span class="image image-framed image-center" style="width: 80%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/436d7889-3a57-40f6-ac34-fb8a2cf3269b/0dceb4fb-1578-4ca0-abad-cd347a5a2f30/1845aee2-93e1-45ac-99d6-b1a8f3ad27ef.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%2C2728&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="40" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="display: none;"></span></span><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>On the House floor, Rep. Reed has quickly distinguished himself as a freshman Democrat unafraid to speak up and hold Republican politicians accountable.</strong> He comes prepared, reading through every bill with care and working closely with his Democratic colleagues to develop thoughtful speech strategies and talking points on the issues like immigration, reproductive freedom, and public education.</p><p></p><span class="image image-framed image-center" style="width: 80%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/436d7889-3a57-40f6-ac34-fb8a2cf3269b/e252460b-fd62-4109-927d-f4e17fa51a36/41c08836-39ac-4cb4-b34d-cd058ee1e93e.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%2C2726&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="40" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="display: none;"></span></span><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Rep. Reed was the first Missouri Democrat to speak out against the Trump Administration’s immigration policies.</strong> Like many families in District 83, his own family reflects a diverse, multicultural background; his wife Natalia is from Mexico, which gave him a deeply personal understanding of the challenges faced by immigrant and mixed-background families. That perspective has guided his leadership on immigration in the Missouri House.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Rep. Reed has authored and introduced multiple pieces of legislation to support our immigrant neighbors, including authorizing DACA recipients to obtain professional licenses in the state, ensuring Missouri does not fund Trump's federal immigration enforcement actions, and <strong>most recently, a bill to increase transparency around ICE operations in Missouri (endorsed by California Governor, Gavin Newsom).</strong></p><p></p><span class="image image-framed image-center" style="width: 80%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/436d7889-3a57-40f6-ac34-fb8a2cf3269b/db7f51f7-570b-44e9-81a2-753c78161ce8/46f1b49d-ce7a-4f44-bd2b-d546f90a5e59.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%2C2728&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="40" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="display: none;"></span></span><p style="text-align: center;">Rep. Reed has been a steadfast voice for District 83, using his platform on the House floor to stand up against policies that would harm working families and public institutions. He has opposed Governor Kehoe’s income tax elimination “shell game,” HJR 73’s attempts to restrict reproductive freedom, and efforts to divert public dollars into private school voucher programs, ensuring that the priorities of his district remain front and center in Jefferson City. <strong>Rep. Reed is always willing to find common ground, but he’s never afraid to stand his ground for our values. He didn’t pick the fights in Jefferson City, but he’s never been afraid of them either.</strong></p><p></p><span class="image image-framed image-center" style="width: 80%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/436d7889-3a57-40f6-ac34-fb8a2cf3269b/79a8acee-4181-410c-900d-fe11e6013e9a/913d1d39-732a-4fe0-a409-e58346a569b9.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%2C3072&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="40" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="display: none;"></span></span><p style="text-align: center;">If you ask Rep. Reed about his favorite moment serving in the People’s House, he won’t point to interviews, meetings with national figures, or awards. Instead, it’s this moment: Isaac, a young student from District 83, chose Rep. Reed for a class project because he thought it was “so cool” that someone so young was serving as his state representative. Later in the school year, Rep. Reed welcomed Isaac and his classmates to the Missouri Capitol, spending time getting to know them and showing firsthand what public service can look like, an experience that left as much of an impression on him as it did on the students. <strong>Representation matters.</strong></p><p></p><span class="image image-framed image-center" style="width: 100%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/436d7889-3a57-40f6-ac34-fb8a2cf3269b/b106372a-e4c4-4d13-a890-83eab43fe36c/2b1e3ace-2a7e-42f3-b12c-2479eed9e688.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%2C3072%2C4096&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="50" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="display: none;"></span></span>

Page Intro

<p>The people closest to the community should make the decisions that shape it. Too often, Republican politicians in Jefferson City override the will of local voters and officials attacking cities, counties, and school boards when they disagree politically.</p><p>Rep. Reed has fought to keep state politicians out of local decision-making and to defend the right of communities to govern themselves. Local control means respecting local leaders, not punishing them. </p><p>In District 83 things as simple as our Grocery taxes play a vital role in funding our schools, city services, and our first responders and a state takeover of that would be detrimental to our district. Rep. Reed stands firm in opposition to Jefferson City meddling in our local decisions.</p>

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.</p><p>Before being elected to the Missouri House of Representatives, Rep.

<p>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.</p>

<h4>An Economy That Works For Everyone</h4>

Item 1

<p>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:</p>

<h4>Reproductive Freedom</h4>

<p>"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</p>

<p>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.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">In The District</h2><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>From neighborhood coffee shops to community events, you’ll often find Rep. Reed out in the district, listening, learning, and showing up.</strong> Whether it’s a conversation on a front porch, a roundtable with local leaders, or a chance encounter at a school or small business, he believes public service starts with being present. That commitment to staying connected ensures that the voices, concerns, and ideas of the community aren’t just heard, but carried directly into the work he does every day.</p><p></p><span class="image image-framed image-center" style="width: 80%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/436d7889-3a57-40f6-ac34-fb8a2cf3269b/ab2fc288-731a-44b9-a13a-91606cdc4457/d9ac2964-9ae5-4de6-9605-3934d7337095.webp?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=6&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=4&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C4096%2C2730&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="40" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="display: none;"></span></span><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Supporting public schools remains one of Rep. Reed’s top priorities. </strong>Whether visiting classrooms or meeting with students across the district, he shows up to listen, connect, and ensure young people know their voices matter, and that they have a real stake in the decisions made in Jefferson City.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Moments like this reflect that commitment. While visiting the MRH School District, Rep. Reed sat with a student whose first language is Spanish and spoke with him in Spanish, sharing stories about his wife, Natalia from Mexico, and their shared connections. It’s a simple but meaningful reminder that every student deserves to feel seen, valued, and understood.</p><p></p><span class="image image-framed image-center" style="width: 80%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/436d7889-3a57-40f6-ac34-fb8a2cf3269b/6acb805d-9b75-4036-bc2b-01f17dbf307f/fe308364-5f3c-44e6-af78-b69e24d84885.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%2C3072&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="40" variant="framed"></span><span class="caption" style="display: none;"></span></span><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Rep.

More recently, he has continued organizing in District 83 around efforts like Protect MO Voters and the Missouri Right to Education.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>For Rep.
