Harry Mason Reid is an American politician and the senior United States Senator from Nevada, in office since 1987. A member of the Democratic Party, he has served as the Senate Majority Leader since January 2007, having previously served as Minority Leader and Minority and Majority Whip. Previously, Reid was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Nevada's 1st congressional district, and served in Nevada local and state government as city attorney of Henderson, a state legislator, the 25th Lieutenant Governor, and chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission. As Senate Majority Leader and a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Reid has attained higher elected political office in United States government than any other U.S. Latter-day Saint politician to date. Should he complete his full term in the 113th United States Congress, he will be one of only three Senators to serve at least eight years as Majority Leader, along with Alben W. Barkley and Mike Mansfield. Reid's current term ends in January 2017, and he has stated that he intends to seek re-election in 2016.
