Reid started his political career as a Salt Lake City Council member, representing district 1.[5] He was elected in 1993,[6] and took office in January 1994.[5] In 1995, he served as the council's chairman.[5] In Salt Lake City's 1995 mayoral election, he, more strongly than any other city council member, backed Deedee Corradini, who won the election.[7] In March 1997, he resigned from the council in order to accept the position leading the city's Department of Community and Economic Development.[8]
In 1999, Reid ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Salt Lake City, advancing to the general election, but losing it by a large margin to Rocky Anderson[9] [10]
Reid served on the Ogden/Weber Chamber Legislative Committee, the Governor's Utah State Fair Park Task Force, and the Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Governors.
Reid was first elected to the Utah Senate in 2010. He decided not to run for reelection in 2014.[11]
During the 2014 Legislative Session, Reid served on the following committees:
In 2014, the Utah Legislature shot down S.B. 12 bill to raise the legal smoking age from 18 to 21.[15] Had the bill passed, Utah would have been the first state to do so, and Salt Lake City would have been the second major city (after New York City) to raise the minimum age to 21. However, the Utah Senate killed the bill after a 12–16 vote on March 3.
