A Biography of Harry Mason Reid (born December 2, 1939) he is the senior United States Senator from Nevada & a member of the Democratic Party.
Reid is the U.S. Senate
Majority Leader in the 110th Congress. He assumed majority leadership after the
Democratic Party won seated majority of the Senate in the 2006 congressional elections.
Reid is the first member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly
known as Mormons, to serve as Senate Majority Leader.
Reid is the first Nevada
state politician to be either a major party leader in the senate or House, or
be President or Vice President.
Background & family life
Reid was
born in the small mining town of Searchlight, Nevada to Inez & Harry V. Reid.
Reid attended Basic High School in Henderson, Nevada. Mike O'Callaghan, future
Governor of Nevada & Reid's history teacher, coached Reid in boxing at the
Henderson Boys' Club.
Reid received his A.S. from Southern Utah State College in 1959 & in 1961 earned his B.S. from Utah State University. He moved to Washington, D.C. & worked as an officer for the U.S. Capitol Police while attending George Washington University for his law degree. Reid graduated in 1964 & returned to Nevada to work as a lawyer before entering politics. Reid & his wife have five children, one of whom, Rory Reid, is an elected Commissioner for Clark County, Nevada, & another who recently ran for municipal office in Cottonwood Heights, Utah.
Reid is a converted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Reid & his wife converted to Mormonism while Reid was a college student. He stated in an interview with Brigham Young University's Daily Universe that "I think it is much easier to be a good member of the Church & a Democrat than a good member of the Church & a Republican." He went on to say that the Democrats' emphasis on helping others, as opposed to what he considers Republican dogma to the contrary, is the reason he's a Democrat. He delivered a speech at BYU to about 4,000 students on October 9, 2007 in which he affirmed that Democratic values mirror Mormon values. He later asserted that some "right-wing" Church leaders, including former president Ezra Taft Benson, helped lead some LDS Church members down the "wrong path."
Nevada political career
Reid was elected to the Nevada State Assembly
in 1967. He left after being elected lieutenant governor in 1970, the same year
his mentor O'Callaghan was elected governor. He served in that office until 1974,
when he ran for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Alan Bible. He lost by fewer
than 600 votes to former Governor Paul Laxalt.
Reid then served as chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission from 1977 to 1981, a post that subjected him to death threats. Reid's wife once found a bomb attached to one of their cars. A character in the film Casino played by Dick Smothers is based, in part, on Reid. Jack Gordon once tried to bribe Reid. Reid allowed the FBI to tape Gordon's attempt to bribe him with $12,000, at which point Reid attempted (unsuccessfully) to strangle Gordon, saying "You son of a bitch, you tried to bribe me!"
U.S. CongressHouse of Representatives
Until the 1980 census, Nevada had only
one member in the United States House of Representatives, but population growth
in the 1970s resulted in a second district. Reid won the Democratic nomination
for the 1st Congressional District, based in Las Vegas, in 1982, & easily
won the general election. He served two terms in the House, from 1983 to 1987.

Opinions & beliefs
Abortion & the Supreme Court
Abortion issues
Harry Reid openly identifies himself as "pro-life."
He stated in a 1998 National Political Awareness Test that he believed "Abortions
should be legal only when the pregnancy resulted from incest, rape, or when the
life of the woman is endangered." In 1999, he voted against an amendment
explicitly expressing support for Roe v. Wade.
Reid has voted several times to ban what physicians call the "intact dilation & evacuation" procedure & what abortion opponents call the "partial-birth abortion" procedure. In 2003, he supported alternate language than the act that eventually passed that would have banned all late-term abortions, while allowing exceptions for the life & health of the mother. Several polls have stated that a majority of Americans support banning "partial birth abortion" when the pollsters describe it as such. Reid also voted in favor of the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, in favor of parental notification in the case of minors undergoing out-of-state abortions, & in favor of maintaining the ban on abortions & supplying birth control for US military personnel.
Pregnancy prevention & clinic safety
In
1994, Reid voted for the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act prohibiting
the use of intimidation or physical force to prevent or discourage people from
gaining access to a reproductive health care facility. He was the co-sponsor of
an amendment to the bill which allows anyone to exercise freedom to worship at
a health care facility. It allows reproductive health care professionals to gain
access to a clinic without being physically threatened & , at the same time,
allows religious organizations to pray outside of abortion clinics.
Reid introduced legislation in 2006 co-sponsored by Hillary Clinton that would fund abortion prevention efforts such as giving women broader access to contraception. In a press release about their "Prevention First Amendment," Clinton & Reid stated that for every dollar spent on pregnancy prevention, three are saved by pregnancy & birth-related expenses borne by Medicaid. The bill received Republican opposition & failed.
Reid voted in favor of an amendment that would over turn the Mexico City Policy. The policy bans U.S. aid to overseas health organizations that give men & women birth control, provide information about abortion procedures, or that perform abortion procedures as part of a "family planning policy". Opponents of the policy argue that the ban keeps funds from going to non-governmental organizations distributing condoms & USAID-donated birth control & has resulted in an increase in unwanted pregnancies, & thus an increase in the rate of abortion. Opponents also argue that the ban promotes restrictions on free speech as well as restrictions on accurate medical information. Supporters of the policy have argued, using the example of the Philippines, that the ban prevents overseas health organizations from using US government funds to disobey the abortion & birth control laws of their own countries. Supporters also argue that the policy prevents the health agencies from promoting abortion at the expense of other birth control methods. The amendment overturning the Mexico City Policy passed the Senate by a 53-41 vote. President Bush has vowed to veto any legislation eliminating the policy.

Reid received a 100% rating from NARAL in 2001 & voted with the interests of the National Family Planning & Reproductive Health Association 68% of the time from 1995 to 2004. In 2003 & 2004, he received 29% & 20% ratings, respectively, from NARAL Pro-Choice America. From 2005 to 2006, "Reid supported the interests of the National Right to Life Committee 50 percent." Planned Parenthood gave him a 57% rating in 2006.
Supreme Court Nominations
In 2005, Reid voted
against Supreme Court nominee John Roberts, in part because of pressure from his
constituents. About 64% of Reid's constituents in Nevada identify themselves as
"pro-choice." Reid voted against nominee Samuel Alito. Reid argued against
the pursuit of a filibuster of Alito because the Republican majority leader at
the time, Bill Frist, had threatened to institute what he & other Republicans
called the "Constitutional option" & what Democrats called the "nuclear
option". If implemented, the option would have eliminated the filibuster
& made a simple majority-- rather than a three-fifths majority-- enough to
move forward any federal judicial confirmations.
The Bush Administration
& Supreme Court
Reid made headlines in May 2005 when he said of George
W. Bush, "The man's father is a wonderful human being. I think this guy is
a loser." Reid later apologized for these comments. Reid also called Supreme
Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas an "embarrassment" & referred
to Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan as a "political hack."
Civil
Rights
Reid has said "I believe marriage should be between a man &
a woman" & voted for the Defense of Marriage Act. Reid voted against
the Federal Marriage Amendment & against "prohibiting same-sex basic
training." He has also voted for "prohibiting job discrimination based
on sexual orientation" & for "adding sexual orientation to definition
of hate crimes".
Reid supported the original Patriot act passed shortly after the World Trade Center attacks. He opposed the later versions of the act, stating on the Senate floor in December 2005 that "The final bill was written by Republican conferees working behind closed doors with Justice Department lawyers." He argued that "It leaves largely in place a definition of domestic terrorism so broad it could be read to cover acts of civil disobedience." Reid later boasted to Democratic activists that "We killed the Patriot Act." Reid clarified his statement later that day, saying that he only intended to to add more safeguards to the act. Political columnists Rich Lowry , Deroy Murdock , & Ann Coulter later criticized his statement. Nonpartisan media analysis website FactCheck.org later stated that "obviously, he chose his words poorly" & "Reid's words are grossly misleading". Reid said on Fox News Sunday that he considered the act's defeat worth celebrating. He remarked that "I'm opposed to evil terrorists as most Americans are. But we still believe in this little thing called the Constitution."
In spring 2006, Reid joined a 89 to 10 bipartisan vote reauthorizing the act, saying "Our support for the Patriot Act does not mean a blank check for the president... What we tried to do on a bipartisan basis is have a better bill. It has been improved." Nine Democratic Senators such as Russell Feingold, Robert Byrd, Daniel Akaka, & Patrick Leahy along with libertarian Independent Jim Jeffords voted against the bill. The Wall Street Journal's editorial page called his vote, in context with his earlier statement, "Reid's "mission accomplished" moment".
Reid supports a constitutional amendment to prevent flag desecration. Reid has also criticised Senate Republicans for bringing up anti-desecration legislation, calling it one of "the “pet” issues of the right wing".
Death
penalty
Reid strongly supports use of the death penalty, having voted in favor
of limiting death penalties appeals & executing criminals who were minors
when they committed their crime.
Energy policy
Reid supports legislation
that would cut $15 billion in tax breaks for large oil companies & put the
money toward renewable energy sources. In an op-ed to the Reno Gazette Journal,
Harry Reid wrote, "I am working on a bipartisan energy bill that will create
thousands of Nevada jobs, save consumers money, address global warming, &
make our country safer. We can do that by reducing our reliance on oil & investing
in the renewable energy sources that are abundant in our state." The environmental
organization "Campaign for America's Future" gave him a 100% rating
from 2005 to 2006.
Ethics reform
In January 2007, Harry Reid brought
a Senate ethics reform bill to a vote. These rules passed overwhelmingly on a
bipartisan basis-- 96 to 2. The bill was a reaction to Republican scandals in
the U.S. House of Representatives. The ethics bill bars members from accepting
gifts, meals, & trips from lobbyists & organization employing them. It
also bars Senators from borrowing corporate jets for travel & compels Senators
to disclose the names of sponsors, or authors, of bills & specific projects.
Gun politics
Reid voted for the "Protection of Lawful Commerce
in Arms Act"-- designed "to prohibit civil liability actions from being
brought or continued against manufacturers, distributors, dealers, or importers
of firearms or ammunition for damages... resulting from the misuse of their products"
& against the ban on semi-automatic firearms. He also voted in favor of the
Brady Bill & background checks at gun shows.
Immigration
Reid calls
"immigration reform" one of his top priorities for the 110th Congress.
He supports the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 (S. 1348), but pulled
it from the Senate floor because he believed too many amendments to the legislation
were being introduced.
Reid supports the DREAM Act which would make it easier for young people who are not citizens of the United States, but are permanent residents, to attend college or university in the United States. The DREAM Act was introduced to the Senate by Senators Orrin Hatch (R-UT) & Richard Durbin (D-IL)
Reid opposed a Constitutional amendment to make English the national language of the United States, calling the proposal "racist."
Iraq
War
Reid voted in January 1991 to authorize military force in Iraq to liberate
Kuwait. On the Senate floor, Reid quoted from John F. Kennedy's 1963 State of
the Union speech by saying "the mere absence of war is not Peace". According
to The New York Times, the "Senate approved the use of military force by
a vote of 52 to 47" with ten out of the fifty-five Senate Democrats voting
in support.
Reid voted in support of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. In March 2007, he voted in favor of "redeploying US troops out of Iraq by March 2008". Reid said on April 19, 2007 "I believe, myself that the secretary of state, secretary of defense, & — you have to make your own decisions as to what the president knows — this war is lost & the surge is not accomplishing anything as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday." Reid said he told President Bush he thought the war could not be won through military force, although he said the U.S. could still pursue political, economic & diplomatic means to bring peace to Iraq. He also said, "As long as we follow the President’s path in Iraq, the war is lost. But there is still a chance to change course & we must change course. No one wants us to succeed in the Middle East more than I do. But there must be a change of course. Our brave men & women overseas have passed every test with flying colors. They have earned our pride & our praise. More important, they deserve a strategy worthy of their sacrifice."
In an April 22, 2007 appearance on FOX News Sunday, Reid's Senatorial colleague Charles Schumer stated, "The war is not lost. & Harry Reid believes this — we Democrats believe it — if we change our mission & focus it more narrowly on counter-terrorism, going after an Al Qaida camp that might arise in Iraq. That would take many fewer troops out of harm's way. That's what we're pushing the president to do."
On September 10, 2007, the Commander of the Multi-National Force in Iraq David H. Petraeus presented a "Report to Congress on the Situation in Iraq". He stated that "As a bottom line up front, the military objectives of the surge are, in large measure, being met." The New York Times reported on September 11 that Petraeus had "warned in stark terms against the kind of rapid pullback favored by the Democratic majorities in the House & Senate". Reid stated that the general's "plan is just more of the same" & "is neither a drawdown or a change in mission that we need." He also said that Congressional Democrats plan to "to change the course of the war". Petraeus will "make a further assessment & [offer] recommendations next March".
Stem cell research
Reid
supports stem cell research, referring to the research as "the next generation
of medical breakthroughs." He has stated that "Democrats will not give
up the fight for stem cell research. It is a fight America must win."
Technology
Reid's
voting record on technology is the following according to OnTheIssues.org
Voted
NO on restoring $550M in funding for Amtrak for 2007. (Mar 2006)
Voted YES
on disallowing FCC approval of larger media conglomerates. (Sep 2003)
Voted
YES on Internet sales tax moratorium. (Oct 1998)
Voted YES on telecomm deregulation.
(Feb 1996)
Promoted internet via Congressional Internet Caucus. (Jan 2001)
Yucca Mountain
Harry Reid firmly opposes the proposed Yucca Mountain
federal nuclear waste repository in Nevada. He's quoted as saying the concept
of which "is dead. It'll never happen." Reid, who has long been an opponent
of the centralized nuclear waste facility in his home state, said he would continue
to work to block completion of the project. "It's dying on its own. It's
just happening. You don't need just a sudden demise. It's breathing really hard.
Just let it lay there a while & it'll be dead," says Reid.
Liberal criticisms
Iraq war
Liberal critics argue that Reid is not doing enough
to end the American military presence in Iraq. The Boston Globe has stated that
disappointment among constituents & Democratic Party activists regarding efforts
to bring back troops as well as conservative opposition to those efforts, together,
have reduced Congress's approval rating.
Republican criticisms
Rush
Limbaugh letter
In response to radio host Rush Limbaugh's controversial comment
about "phony soldiers", Harry Reid authored a letter co-signed by 40
other Democratic senators, which called Limbaugh's words "unpatriotic"
& called for Limbaugh to apologize. In response, Limbaugh showed the letter
during a speech in Philadelphia on October 11 before auctioning it off on eBay.
The auction attained a winning bid of $2,100,100.00 from philanthropist Betty
Casey. Limbaugh pledged his own matching donation to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement
Foundation, a charity which provides scholarships to the children of fallen law
enforcement officers & Marines, & challenged Harry Reid to do the same.
On October 19, 2007, moments before the charity auction was to end, Reid announced
on the Senate floor that he was proud to be a party to this donation & stated
that he had helped make the donation possible Right-wing blog Newsbusters criticised
the Senator's statements.
Iraq War
Conservative critics such as
commentators writing in National Review, The Weekly Standard, & The Washington
Times as well as former Republican Senator Fred Thompson argue that Reid-- in
his opposition to the war-- ignores the change in military tactics & methodology
with the adoption of the surge, the resignation of Donald Rumsfeld, & the
appointment of General David Petraeus. A July 2007 CBS poll found that 65% of
Americans "disapprove of the way Republicans in Congress are handling the
situation with Iraq" & 59% disapprove of the Democrats' handling. Both
results have "unsure" groups of about 10%. An August 2007 CBS poll found
that 69% also disapprove of the Bush Administration's handling.
On April 24, Vice President Dick Cheney criticized what he termed Reid's "blind opposition to the new strategy in Iraq," charging that "Sen. Reid himself has said that the war in Iraq will bring his party more seats in the next election." Earlier in April, Reid had been quoted in the Washington Post as saying that "We're going to pick up Senate seats as a result of this war," & that "Senator Schumer has shown me numbers that are compelling & astounding." Reid later responded, "I'm not going to get into a name calling match with the administration's chief attack dog" & that "I'm not going to get into a name-calling match with somebody who has a 9 percent approval rating." Ironically, Reid's own approval rating & that of the Democratic Leadership have been reported within many sources.
Republican criticism of donations
See
also: Jack Abramoff Indian lobbying scandal
A Las Vegas Review Journal on
Feb. 03, 2006 reported, "The National Republican Senatorial Committee this
week revived a charge that Reid received more than $50,000 from four tribes with
gaming interests between 2001 & 2004 after they hired Abramoff. The Nevadan
had received no money from those tribes before then, Republicans said." John
Solomon, an Associated Press reporter, examined this charge as well as other Republican
charges against Reid in a series of articles.
While it is true that Reid received money from Native American tribes that also hired Abramoff, it is not true that Jack Abramoff personally gave donations to Reid Abramoff personally never donated to Democrats. The Native American tribes who hired him contributed to both Republicans & Democrats. The tribes also donated money to Reid. Reid has always opposed off-reservation gambling. John Solomon & Sharon Theimer of the Associated Press reported that Reid collected donations from Native American gambling interests around the time of each vote Reid caste opposing off-reservation gambling. Ethics rules require senators to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest in collecting contributions around the times they take official acts benefiting donors. Both Reid & John Ensign, the Junior Senator from Nevada, received gaming interest money from Native American tribes. The Senate Ethics Committee did not accuse Reid nor Ensign of violating Senate ethics rules.
John Solomon also reported, among the contacts between Abramoff's Democratic lobbying team & Reid's office, there were several discussions about a bill to raise the minimum wage of the Northern Mariana Islands. Solomon did not report that Reid co-sponsored a the bill that would have raised the minimum wage in the NMI, a bill Abramoff's clients opposed. Reid described the Abramoff affair as "a Republican scandal," referring to Abramoff's felony conviction for making illegal contributions to Republican Congressman Bob Ney & Abramoff's close affiliation with the former House Majority Leader, Tom DeLay's Republican K Street Project. A spokesperson said that Reid had never met Abramoff personally, that neither Reid nor his campaign has ever received money directly from Abramoff, & that his legislative work was done on behalf of his Nevadan constituents as well as the large gaming interests in Nevada. Jim Manley, a Reid spokesperson, told the Associated Press "All the actions that Senator Reid took were consistent with his long- held beliefs, such as not letting tribal casinos expand beyond reservations, & were taken to defend the interests of Nevada constituents."
Las Vegas land deal
On October 11, 2006, John Solomon reported that
Harry Reid's member interest in a limited liability company (LLC) was allocated
$1.1 million of the gross proceeds attributable to the sale of a parcel of land.
In 1998, Reid bought a plot of land for $400,000, fair market value at the time.
One of the sellers was a developer who arranged a land swap that Reid supported.
In 2001, he transferred title of the land to the LLC. When the LLC sold the land
in an arm's length transaction in 2004, Reid made a profit.
The LLC was formed by long-time friend & former casino attorney Jay Brown. Reid's failure to disclose the change in the form of his asset holdings upon contribution to the LLC violates Senate rules according to former Federal Election Commission overseer Kent Cooper. Reid did disclose the 2004 sale as though he held the property in his individual name. In addition, Brown paid a small portion of Reid's taxes on the ownership stake, which constitutes basis for Brown & is corrected for at the land's sale resulting in higher taxes for Reid.[citation needed] Since Reid continued to own the land inside the LLC with the same basis he held it before contribution, he continued to report to Congress that he owned the land for 3 years after he transferred title to the LLC he partially owned. Reid's staff stated that he did not initially disclose the transfer of the land to the LLC because this transfer was not a change of ownership, but was simply Reid owning the land through an LLC instead of as an individual.
Reid directed his staff to amend the 2001 financial disclosure forms to reflect the transfer of title to the LLC. He also disclosed two other land transactions on the amended reports.
Condo
gifts
On October 17, 2006, John Solomon of the Associated Press reported that
Reid had used campaign donations to pay for $3,300 in Christmas gifts to the staff
at the condominium where he resides. Federal election law prohibits candidates
from using political donations for personal use. Reid's staff stated that his
attorneys had approved use of the funds in this manner but that he nonetheless
would personally reimburse his campaign for the expenses. That action notwithstanding,
the conservative group Citizens United announced it had filed a complaint with
the Federal Election Commission to investigate the matter.
Other criticisms
Laughlin, Nevada, bridge project
Reid earmarked a spending bill to provide
for building a bridge between Nevada & Arizona that would make land he owned
more valuable. Reid called funding for construction of a bridge over the Colorado
River, among other projects, 'incredibly good news for Nevada' in a news release
after passage of the 2005 transportation bill. He owned 160 acres of land several
miles from the proposed bridge site in Arizona. The bridge could add value to
his real estate investment.
Opinion polls
National opinion
polls have shown Senate Majority Leader Reid's job approval to be low or unfavorable.
Democrats as a whole in the United States Congress also receive low approval ratings,
although sometimes slightly higher than their Republican peers. Harry Reid is
viewed unfavorably by 51 percent of Nevadans. He has seen the Party to be now
in power though. He can read this at times on a Vegas Flight.
Popular culture
Reid
had a cameo role in the movie Traffic, in which he played himself. He appeared
along with Senators Sam Brownback & Barack Obama in the 2007 documentary film
Sand & Sorrow, which details the genocide in Sudan.
Electoral history
After
Reid's run for Senate in 1974 in which he lost narrowly to Paul Laxalt, Reid served
as Nevada state gaming commissioner, as noted above. After the 1980 Census, Reid
successfully ran for the new House district Nevada had been granted, & served
two terms. In 1986, Reid was elected as Senator to replace the retiring Laxalt
& has served in the Senate ever since.
