Reason for Seeking Public Office:
Wendy Reed has spent 30 years in our district, engaging people in the government processes that affect them, from voting to land use planning. After 20 years in private business, she founded a community-managed public benefit corporation that preserves habitat lands. In this role Mrs. Reed has worked with local, county, state, and federal government agencies. From time to time in American history, we need to press the reset button, and restore government that represents the priorities of real people. 2016 is one of these times.
Spouse's Occupation:
Aerospace engineer
