David Alan Reid (born January 14, 1962) is an American politician and retired US Navy Reserve commander. Reid was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 2017. He is a Democrat representing the 28th District, which includes much of eastern Loudoun County in Northern Virginia.

Early life and education

[edit]

Reid grew up in Rockbridge County, Virginia, before moving to the United Methodist Children's Home in Richmond, Virginia in 1972. After six years, Reid and his youngest brother were adopted and moved to Tahlequah, Oklahoma, with a foster family.[1]

Reid earned a BA in political science from Northeastern Oklahoma State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. He also holds a master's diploma in strategic intelligence from the Joint Military Intelligence College located at the Defense Intelligence Agency in Washington, D.C.[citation needed]

Career

[edit]

Reid served 23 years in the US Navy Reserve, as a naval intelligence officer, where he retired as a commander (O-5) in 2011. While in the navy, Reid made two deployments to South Korea and one deployment to Iceland.[citation needed]

Political career

[edit]

Reid ran for the Virginia House of Delegates in the 2017 elections and defeated incumbent Thomas (Tag) Greason by a margin of 17%.[2] Reid was unchallenged in the 2019 election.[3] Reid faced a challenger in 2021 and won by similar margins to 2017. He faced an opponent in his 2023 bid for reelection, and won by a larger margin than in 2017. Due to redistricting, Reid now represents the 28th district.

On November 14, 2023, Reid announced his campaign for Virginia's 10th Congressional District.[4]

Reid also authored a memoir in April 2024, "Virginia Grit: From Poverty to Policymaker, Creating Opportunity for Everyone."[5]
