Martinez, CA – The Contra Costa County Clerk-Recorder-Elections Department is pleased to announce Kwame P. Reed as the new Deputy Clerk Recorder. Mr. Reed, originally from Contra Costa, comes to our office with nearly thirty years of progressively responsible public sector experience. He brings vast experience in both project and budget management, as well as records and compliance oversight. Reed joins the office from the City of Antioch where he has worked since 2018.
