- Reid, 61, of Merrick, is seeking his first term as receiver of taxes.

- He earned an associate degree in technical theater from Nassau Community College.
- Reid said that if elected he would pursue outreach programs for seniors, veterans and others to educate them about property tax exemptions and the tax grievance process.
- He said he would review tax rolls to ensure correct administration of programs like the 2% fire insurance tax, which returns a tax on premiums written by out-of-state insurers to local fire services.
