Fred Reid - 5th District UPT Council
Fred Reid is running in the special election for the vacant seat in the 5th District of UPT.​​
​
Fred has been a lifelong community servant, particularly here in Upper Providence Township. Fred has previously served on the Upper Providence Council in the 2nd District for 8 years in the 2010s, so he is intimately familiar with the hard decisions that must be made to better our community. Before that, Fred also served on the UPT Parks and Recreation Committee for 4 years.
Fred has been a member of IBEW Local 98 Electrical Workers for 44 years and has lived in the township for 38 years.
When elected to Township Council, Fred plans to focus on controlling spending to stay within the Township budget. This is particularly important right now as the Township plans to impose an Earned Income Tax to overcome an expected budget deficit caused by increased spending in recent years. Fred's opponent is prepared to vote YES on this earned income tax.
Fred looks forward to serving all residents in the township, not just those in the neighborhood next to him.
