About JackJack Reed's life was influenced early on by his father, Joe, a custodian, and his mother Mary, a homemaker. Raised in Cranston, just outside of Providence, Jack learned the values of family, hard work, and education. In 1967, Senator John Pastore selected Reed for the United States Military Academy at West Point based on his leadership, community involvement, and achievement. Upon graduation in 1971, Reed earned a degree from the John F. Kennedy School of Government. He qualified as a United States Army Ranger and commanded paratroopers in the 82nd Airborne Division. After 8 years of active duty service, Reed attended Harvard Law School. Upon earning his law degree in 1982, Reed became an associate at Sutherland, Asbill, and Brennan in Washington, DC, and then returned home to Rhode Island in 1983 to practice law, joining the Providence firm Edwards and Angell. Reed was elected to the Rhode Island State Senate in 1984. Then, in 1990, he won a four-way Democratic primary and a tough head-to-head election to represent Rhode Island's Second District in the U.S. Ho Copyright ©dewpant.pages.dev 2025 |
