Montgomery, Alabama
In a post, Reed said that he had received encouragement to run, but “After deliberately evaluating where I could make the most positive impact, I have decided not to seek election to the United States House of Representatives.”Action 8 News Political Analyst Steve Flowers says Reed would have been a favorite to win the 2nd District Congressional seat. The federal courts had redrawn the district lines to give Black Alabamians a greater chance at representation.
However, Reed just won a second term as Montgomery Mayor in August. He is Montgomery’s first Black mayor and has received much national exposure since first winning the office in 2019. Right now, the qualified candidates for the seat include Democratic State Rep. Jeremy Gray and Willie Leonard. Montgomery attorney Caroleene Dobson has qualified as a Republican.Current 2nd District Congressman Barry Moore, a Republican from Enterprise, no longer lives in the district after the lines were redrawn. He has decided not to try to keep his District 2 seat and instead challenge fellow Republican Congressman Jerry Carl in the 1st District.
