Issues & Legislation
Jack Reed has earned a reputation for being a thoughtful, effective legislator who delivers for Rhode Island's working families.

Reed's top priorities as a lawmaker include: improving our nation's health care and education systems; expanding economic opportunity and prosperity; enhancing our security; ending our dependence on foreign oil, providing families with safe and affordable housing; and protecting our environment.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada noted, "Senator Reed is one of the most respected members of the United States Senate and a tireless advocate for the people of Rhode Island. He has been a leader in protecting the rights of working Americans on issues ranging from health care and education to keeping struggling homeowners in their homes, and he has been among the strongest supporters of our brave men and women in uniform."

Reed serves on four key committees: Appropriations; Armed Services; Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs; and Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP).
