Background, as reported

The Tribune's questionnaire does not list Reid's occupation, prior office or education. District 1 covers parts of Box Elder and Cache counties. [1]

In their own words: the Tribune questionnaire

Reid wrote that the best method to root out corruption is transparency. On affordability, he said he would look at laws and restrictions that may inhibit people from starting their own businesses. On water, he wrote that the state needs to make sure its water inflows are outpacing its outflows. His other priority was removing party-line voting and party affiliation from ballots. [1]

Reid declined to answer the Tribune's questions on Constitutional Amendments A and B. [1]
