Colin Reed is a nationally recognized political and communications strategist with extensive experience guiding high-profile candidates, individuals and institutions with their most pressing campaigns and challenges. Described by The Hill as, “a veteran of the opposition-research wars that have helped to define presidential races,” Colin served as the Executive Director of America Rising PAC during the 2016 presidential election cycle. He has also worked at the senior levels of multiple private sector consulting firms where his instinctual understanding of the media environment have drawn corporate leaders, particularly in the technology and energy sectors, to seek his counsel.
Colin cut his political teeth working for Republicans in deep blue New England. In 2014, he was the campaign manager for the Senate campaign of Ambassador Scott Brown in New Hampshire. Prior to this campaign, Reed served as one of the primary spokesmen for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. He served for several years on Capitol Hill and spent the 2008 cycle on the presidential campaigns of Senator John McCain and Governor Mitt Romney.
A graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill, Colin lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife, Andrea.
