Jack Reed (D-RI) began his congressional service in the House of Representatives in 1990. In 1996, the people of Rhode Island elected Reed to succeed Claiborne Pell as the state’s 46th U.S. Senator. Reed was appointed by the Senate leadership to the Goldwater Foundation Board in 2016.

About Jack

Jack 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
