Leader Robert Reives has been a steadfast champion for fair representation in a state where Republicans have used gerrymandering to unfairly secure their control of the state legislature and the state’s U.S. House delegation. A former prosecutor, Reives’ rising profile is a reflection of his ability to unite Democrats in tough territory to oppose Republican power-grabbing schemes. He has sponsored legislation to strengthen public schools and to help protect children, the disabled, the environment, and property rights. With a background in conflict mediation and law, Reives is a highly skilled negotiator and consensus-builder, bringing people together to fight for progress in this top battleground state.

Leader Reives was first elected to the DLCC Board in 2024.
