Career

Reeb was elected district attorney for New Mexico's Ninth Judicial District in 2014 and served until March 2022.[2][3] She was elected to the New Mexico House of Representatives in November 2022 and assumed office on January 1, 2023.[4]

Reeb was appointed in August 2022 as a special prosecutor by Santa Fe County's district attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies to assist in the investigation and prosecution of the shooting incident on the set of the film Rust, in which prosecutors said they would charge actor Alec Baldwin with two counts of involuntary manslaughter.[5] On March 14, 2023, Reeb announced she was stepping down as special prosecutor following a motion by Baldwin's attorney to remove her from the case as her new role as legislator may violate the state constitution's separation of powers clause.[6][7]
