American politician (born 1950)

Thomas M. Reynolds (born September 3, 1950) is an American politician from the U.S. state of New York, formerly representing the state's 27th and 26th Congressional districts in the United States House of Representatives. Reynolds was chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, the official Republican House campaign organization, for the 2006 election cycle. He retired amid scandal at the end of the 110th Congress. He was cleared of any wrongdoing by the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct. Chris Lee was elected to succeed him.

Early life

Reynolds was born in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, and graduated from the Springville-Griffith Institute. He served in the New York Air National Guard from 1970 to 1976.

Thomas H. Reynolds was born in Oakland, California on April 20, 1932. He attended UC Berkeley, earning his Bachelor of Arts in 1955 and his Masters in Library Science in 1958. Tom spent his entire career at UC Berkeley’s Garret W. McEnerney Law Library, serving under four law library directors. When Professor Robert Berring J.D., M.L.S. ‘74, arrived in 1982 as director of the law library, Tom was already an internationally respected expert in foreign and comparative law research and had been instrumental in developing the Robbins Collection of religious and civil law. Tom often said, however, that it was the arrival of Professor Berring and Professor Laurent Mayali, who was appointed Director of the Robbins Collection in 1988, that made the last twenty years of his career the best years. Thanks to their leadership, Tom was able to flourish doing the work he loved: acquisitions, scholarship, and publishing. 

Tom’s remarkable achievements were well-recognized by the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL). His many awards include the Joseph L. Andrews Bibliographical Award (1990), the American Association of Law Libraries Presidential Certificate of Appreciation for Dedicated Services as Editor of the Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals (2001), and the coveted Marian Gould Gallagher Distinguished Service Award (2004). In 2010, he was inducted into the AALL Hall of Fame.

When Tom entered UC Berkeley as a freshman in 1951, his place in the AALL Hall of Fame was not preordained. After graduating with a degree in history he enrolled at UC Berkeley’s law school, but had a less than amiable first year and was questioning his career choice. Tom’s uncle, head of the Santa Barbara County library system, encouraged him to consider librarianship, noting that Tom’s eidetic memory and aptitude for history and languages would be valued in the profession.

Tom took his uncle’s advice and enrolled in UC Berke
