Former Antioch assistant city manager Kwame Reed is the new deputy clerk recorder for Contra Costa County.
The county clerk-recorder-elections department said Reed comes to the job with nearly 30 years of “progressively responsible public sector experience.”
“He brings vast experience in both project and budget management, as well as records and compliance oversight,” the office said in a statement.
Before joining the city of Antioch in 2018, Reed worked for Brentwood as a senior analyst in economic development and the city manager’s office.
“We are thrilled to be bringing Kwame Reed onto our team as Deputy Clerk-Recorder,” said Kristin B. Connelly, County Clerk-Recorder and Registrar of Voters. “He is very enthusiastic about the important work of our department and cares deeply about high-quality public service.”
Reed was born and raised in Richmond. His first day on the job for the county was April 7.
