Kasim Reed Biography

Kasim Reed is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on June 10, 1969 in Plainfield, New Jersey, United States. Polittician and member in the Democratic party, who was elected the city’s fifty-ninth mayor in Atlanta in the year 2010. He was able to balance the city’s budget by cutting the pensions for city employees and instead spending the funds on the police force as well as community centers in neighborhoods with low income.

An early entrepreneur, by 1989 Reed made $40,000 running a jewelry business which he started at age sixteen. In 1990 he was invited to comment on the Persian Gulf War military buildup on the MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour. Also, in November of that year he was featured in Black Enterprise.

Since the 1990s, the official State Flag of Georgia had been a center of controversy as it incorporated the historic Confederate flag dating to the American Civil War, which among some people is thought to symbolize resistance to cultural changes in the state. After 2001 changes to the flag which removed this, Governor of Georgia Roy Barnes, who had led the flag-redesign effort, was defeated for re-election; many thought it was the result of the political backlash. The 1956 version with the Confederate States of America battle emblem, known as a St. Andrew’s cross, was a continuing topic of debate for southern heritage proponents. Reed served as one of Governor Sonny Perdue’s floor leaders in debates that led to the ratification of the current (2003) version of the state flag. Reed’s leadership in dealmaking with Senate Republicans kept the 1956 version of the flag off Perdue’s statewide referendum on the flag in 2003. The referendum was originally a two-part referendum pitting the 2001 version of the flag against the proposed version and conditional on failed ratification of a new flag considering other flags including the 1956 version. Under this format if the legislators did not approve the newly designed flag over the existing one they could have pursued other designs including the one with the controversial 1956 version of the flag. Reed and a contingent of black legislators from Atlanta limited the referendum to a single vote of preference between the 2003 version and the 2001 version.

Three brothers are his: Tracy, Carlson and Charles.
