He was elected Governor of Kansas in 1929, known as a candidate for being extremely progressive. Shortly after he moved into the governor's mansion, the Great Depression began.

The governor decided not to run for re-election, and returned to newspaper editing. When the anti-Semitic preacher Gerald B. Winrod ran for the Republican nomination for the United States Senate in 1938 and seemed likely to win it, Reed was recruited by the mainstream political establishment as a popular figure who could prevent Winrod's election. Reed won the nomination and the election, and was re-elected in 1944. While in the Senate, his fellow Kansas Senator was also a former governor, Arthur Capper.
