Reid Mercer was born on September 19, 1980 in St. Petersberg, Florida.  However, his family didn’t stay there long. The heat, hurricanes, and high crime rates gave them more than enough reason to leave. In the summer of 1989 we moved to Colorado. After graduating high school in 1999, Reid went to study political science at Harvard University. After graduating in 2007, he very quickly rose the political ladder, becoming mayor of the town of Zrueburt, Colorado in 2008. In 2010, Reid then ran as governor of Colorado. After winning the election and having been governor for 9 years, he is ready and experienced enough to become vice president to and assist our presidential candidate, Aidan Rhodes.
