Marilyn Reid is a Republican politician who formerly served in the Ohio General Assembly. An attorney from Beavercreek, Ohio, Reid initially ran for the Ohio House of Representatives in 1992, seeking to replace Bob Doyle a fellow Republican who was facing bankruptcy.^[1] She defeated Doyle in the primary, and subsequently won the fall general election. She was seated on January 3, 1993, and would be reelected in 1994 and 1996.

In 1998, Reid and her husband, Common Pleas Judge David Reid, were facing ethics charges that looked to make her vulnerable for reelection to a fourth term. As a result, she faced a primary challenge from Steve Austria, a financial planner with no previous elected experience.^[2] While experienced, Austria ultimately would defeat her and go on to win the general election. Following her defeat, Reid returned to the private sector. In 2000, there was speculation that she could possibly run for the Ohio Senate, but she did not.

By 2002, Reid had made a political comeback to serve as Greene County Commissioner, winning a crowded Republican primary to take the seat in 2003.^[3] She continues to serve as Commissioner.
