Carol Reed

Carol Reed's career began in the late 1970s as she ascended from "enthusiastic volunteer" to the paid position of political director for then-U.S. Senator John Tower.

The rest is history. No ... more than history, legend.

For more than twenty years, the award-winning Carol Reed Associates specialized in corporate communications, campaign consulting, issues and crisis management, event production and community initiatives. Today, as The Reeds PRC, the firm continues to build on two decades of successes.

Dallas Observer's "Best of Dallas" issue in 2004 tipped its hat to The Reeds as the premier political consulting firm in North Texas. "Over the last 20 years," the newspaper reported, "the firm has worked for virtually every Republican office holder in the state, as well as Presidents Reagan and Bush."

Carol's legendary victories include:

  • More than $200 million dollars raised for civic projects and political campaigns.
  • In 1995, managing the history-making campaign that elected Ron Kirk as the first African-American mayor in Dallas history.
  • Successfully orchestrating the 2007 campaign of current Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert.
  • Over considerable opposition, managing not one, but two, victorious Trinity River corridor campaigns to transform Dallas' only riverfront.
  • Winning voter support in 1998 for public financing to build the American Airlines Center.
  • In 2004, securing overwhelming voter approval for the new Dallas Cowboys football stadium in Arlington, Texas.
  • A 100% success rate for all bond election campaigns she has taken on, including those for the City of Dallas, Dallas Independent School District, Dallas Area Rapid Transit, and Dallas County Community College District.

Carol is also the first woman to chair the Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Rotary Club of Dallas, and the Dallas Real Estate Council’s Fight Night.
