Mr. Reed opposes the nomination of Judge Clarence Thomas for the Supreme Court (“I’d like to see a more distinguished black jurist”) and opposes quotas. “I don’t believe the Democratic civil rights legislation is a quota bill, but I’d like to see the compromise [civil rights] bill sponsored by Sen. [John] Warner,” said Mr. Reed.
Reed attacked President Bush’s education policy, particularly for damage he says has been done to the national student-loan programs. He supports “any effort to increase pay for teachers,” and thinks decisions about choice of schools should be made at the local level.
The candidate hopes his assurances of coming campaign donations will appeal to Democratic delegates in Culpeper next month.
“My issues are issues that affect the working men and women of the 18 counties and five cities of the 7th District. I can communicate those issues clearly and in a dramatic way that will help stimulate the local Democratic Party organizations,” he said, adding support from those local organizations will be crucial for victory in November against Del. Allen.
Mr. Reed’s career as a professional journalist began at the Houston Post. He was transfered to Virginia in 1953 during a stint as an officer with Army intelligence.
Business Week named him correspondent, then Newhouse newspaper group appointed him editor and Washington bureau chief.
When Robert Strauss was U.S. special trade representative during the Carter Administration, Reed was a member of a special committee to steer a- new trade program through Congress.
He now runs a private public relations firm in Washington, D.C.
Reed was born in Trinity, Texas in 1930. He was educated in Texas public schools, Texas A&M and the University of Houston.
