About Me
Pedro Reyes embodies the essence of the American Dream—a narrative of resilience, adaptation, and commitment to community. Born in the Dominican Republic, Pedro’s journey to the United States began in 1985 when his family was driven to move due to political instability and financial security. Settling in Orlando, Florida, Pedro and his family embraced the values of hard work and determination instilled by his parents, embarking on a path of assimilation.
At Boone High School, Pedro navigated a cultural transition, where he found himself among few who spoke his native language. However, propelled by his family’s ethos of perseverance, he graduated from Boone High School, later pursuing higher education at Daytona State College.
Pedro’s personal journey has been marked by significant moments of growth and change, including marriage, the birth of four children, and subsequent divorce. Twelve years ago, he relocated to New Jersey, remarried, and welcomed two young children. Throughout life’s twists and turns, Pedro’s dedication to family and community has remained unwavering.
With over 32 years of experience in the manufacturing industry, Pedro has established himself as an executive committed to efficiency, fiscal responsibility, and organizational excellence. From prominent corporations like Nestle Waters North America, The Perrier Group to smaller enterprises, Pedro has consistently delivered results—streamlining processes, enhancing performance, and fostering financial stability.
Motivated by a profound sense of gratitude and duty, Pedro’s decision to run for county commissioner reflects his steadfast belief in the promise of America. As an immigrant, Pedro is not a politician by profession but a patriot driven to give back to the nation that embraced him.
Pedro Reyes is a catalyst for change—a staunch advocate of fiscal responsibility, transparent governance, and effective leadership. With his wealth of experience and unyielding dedication, Pedro is poised to serve, ensuring that the land which welcomed him continues to thrive for generations to come.
