Campaign website

Reed's campaign website stated the following:

Jermaine never lost sight of the city that raised him. So in 2011, he ran for city council to represent the residents of the Third District. Jermaine knew that residents felt like their voices were being ignored, and they were frustrated that their neighborhoods continued to be neglected by city hall. Fueled with this knowledge, and dedicated to make a change, Jermaine defeated the incumbent council member by a wide margin, and he became the youngest council member in Kansas City history! Jermaine went on to easily win reelection in 2015.

In his two-terms representing the residents of Third District, Councilman Reed has worked to revitalize the city’s urban core and surrounding neighborhoods. In total, Councilman Reed has brought over $300 million in transportation, affordable housing, business and economic development to the Third District since 2011.

Understanding the diversity of the various communities in Kansas City, Councilman Reed has also worked on city-wide initiatives that remove barriers to economic prosperity for all residents of Kansas City. He has advanced legislation to establish a living wage for workers and banned the box to prevent employment discrimination. As Chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure committee, Councilman Reed oversaw the grand opening of the KC Street car, and has worked to improve transportation options throughout the city.

As a board member with the National League of Cities, and the Democratic Municipal Officials, Councilman Reed regularly pushes key policymakers in Washington, D.C. to remove burdensome and unfunded regulations. While President Trump and his allies work to divide our country, here in Kansas City, leaders like Councilman Reed understand that we have work to do, and that nothing will stop us from moving our city forward.
