His legislative achievements include significant economic development initiatives aimed at job creation and improving the lives of Alabamians.

In addition to his legislative accomplishments, the resolution highlights Reed's personal life, including his marriage to Mitsy and their three sons, as well as their active participation in their community and church. The resolution expresses confidence that Reed will continue to serve the people of Alabama even after his tenure in the Senate, particularly in his new role as Senior Advisor to Workforce Transformation under Governor Kay Ivey. The Alabama Legislature unanimously recognizes Reed's invaluable contributions and dedication to public service throughout his 15 years in office.
