Biography

Bradley defeated Democrat John May in the general election held on November 2, 2010 with 51% of the vote.[1] Bradley's election signaled a wide swing in the district, which had voted for former Democratic representative Lucy T. Allen 58%-41% over Keith Shearon in 2008.[2]

In the House, Bradley filed bills to study whether or not the state should authorize an alternative currency, and to require the state to accept gold and silver as legal tender.[3] [4]

Bradley ran for the North Carolina Senate in 2012 but lost the Republican primary on May 8, 2012. He finished in last place out of three candidates, getting about 14% of the vote, behind winner Chad Barefoot (46%) and second-place finisher Michael Schriver (40%).[5]

In 2013, Bradley ran for Vice-Chair of the North Carolina Republican Party at the state convention (June 7–9, 2013).[6] [7] He lost to Joyce Krawiec, placing second in a four-person field.[8]
