| Collapse all
Born in Ohio, received a Catholic education through high school, attended Ohio State University receiving degrees in Biochemistry, a Medical Degree and completed his residency training in Emergency Medicine.
He moved to NC in 1998, joining the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. He obtained a Master Degree in Public Health from UNC - Chapel Hill. He held many leadership roles at ECU and Vidant Medical Center. He is involved in advocacy and policy development through his leadership in the North Carolina Medical Society, serving as President in 2019.
Dr. Reeder has spent 23 years caring for the sick and injured and educating students and resident physicians. He believes in a strong family, a health care system designed to improve health, policies that support entrepreneurism and a strong economy, exceptional education and support for our police and firefighters. He will be an advocate for rural communities.
- Education - North Carolina has a long tradition of excellence in education from primary through college, either the community college or university system, or a technical degree. Our students should have access to the best teachers and schools to prepare them to compete in a global economy. We need to focus on the core subjects of reading, writing, math, science, and history. Our schools should build up individual students for success and not divide them. I support charter schools and parental choice for education. Salaries for teachers must be competitive and reward the teachers who perform the best. We should measure teachers on performance, student achievement, and their own career development.
- Economy - Economic freedom is essential to human liberty and personal success. Capitalism is the only economic system that will allow this country to uphold the principles of individual freedom. Free market driven solutions provide the best mechanisms for most issues. If given the alternative, free-markets solutions should be used instead of government solutions. NC is competing in a global economy. We must create the environment for a growing economy by minimizing regulations and keeping taxes low to support businesses of all sizes.
- Solving Problems. I believe that we face many serious challenges in the world today. We need to make sure that we leave a state and country for our children that will be safe and secure and allows them to thrive into the next generation. Too often we surround ourselves with people who just agree with and think like us. I make no apologies for the fact that I am a conservative. However, if we are to solve the problems that face us, we must be willing to listen to others, hear about their concerns and work for solutions.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
