Parade magazine has described Harry Reid as one of a handful of leaders in Washington with true “integrity and guts.” Since first elected to the House of Representatives in 1982, and the Senate in 1986, Reid has developed a reputation as a consensus builder and a skillful legislator, resulting in his unanimous election as Senate Majority Leader in 2006. In his own flinty voice, The Good Fight presents Reid’s life story: from his early years of poverty in the tiny town of Searchlight, Nevada on through the obstacles he’s faced in our nation’s capital.
Dick Polman, national political columnist at the Philadelphia Inquirer, will interview Senator Reid.
