Brad graduated from Union High School in 1995, where friends knew him as “Bandit”. After graduation he completed a Bachelor of Arts in Religion with an emphasis in youth education from Missouri Baptist College in St Louis as well as a few classes at East Central College to complete his degree. During High School and College he worked at Bud Anderson Car Dealership as a porter, McDonalds, and Pendaflex; all of which are located in Union. After finishing his degree, he accepted a local position as Student Pastor of Bethel Baptist Church in Lonedell and has been working full time in that capacity for 22 years. If you have been to St Clair for a school or sporting event in the last several years, you have probably heard his voice. He proudly serves as the “Voice of the Bulldogs”. Additionally, Brad considers it a great honor to serve as the Assistant Chaplain for the St. Clair Police Department. With the exception of approximately 3 years, when he lived in Canon City, Colorado, Brad has lived in the St Clair/Union MO area his entire life. Brad has been a Christian since age 12 and began his work as a minister at age 16. Brad says he will never be ashamed of Jesus. His life’s work is to impact the next generation to live as genuine Christians and to his church where he proudly serves alongside some of the most incredible people.
  • Principled - I believe we need a principled, common sense representative. Many times we have to vote for candidates who have been reluctant to share the beliefs and principles that will guide their votes if elected. As a voter, that is very frustrating to me. We need someone who understands the conservative platform and will represent Mo District 119 in a transparent, accessible, and principled way. I humbly ask for your vote in becoming our next Representative.
  • Accessible - I believe we need an accessible representative. All elected officials should answer to their constituents. If elected my office door will always be open. I will run a friendly and helpful office, work to give timely responses to questions, and I commit to being accessible to those who live within the boundaries of Mo District 119.
  • Transparent - I believe our elected officals to the best of their ability should be transparent on all levels. The votes a representative cast are of public record but the reasons behind all of them should be shared as much as possible. I commit to keeping the constituents of Mo District 119 informed to the best of my ability thru mail, email, social media and of course thru public interactions or meetings.
I am Pro Life - The ”life begins at conception” view is the only guarantee that we aren’t ending a person’s life. All other artificial time determinations on life or personhood risk the act of murder if we later discover that we are wrong. Medical exceptions have been and should be available according to the Doctors Oath. Life is sacred and should be protected.

Fiscally Responsible Government. - All Levels of government should operate in the black and on a budget. All levels of government should be transparent in their expenditures and receipts. All levels of government should be working to make the best use of each dollar of revenue it receives.

Election Integrity. - Our Democratic Republic cannot survive without free, fair, and legal elections. Elections should be controlled and transparent at the State level. The public trust in elections can only be maintained if a common sense process is used to register, verify legal identity and residency, and count the votes within each precinct. The entire process has to have immediate transparency for public scrutiny.

Local Public School Control. - I am a proponent of Public, Private and Home Schooling. Local Control of Public education safeguards a parent’s or guardian’s rightful place in the education of their children. The choice of education should always rest with parents or guardians not government. Higher Education is an important process but it shouldn’t be used to determine a person’s worth or potential.


Bible - without any reservation this book has impacted me more than anything. What a love story. Romans 5:8
Bloom by Paper Kites - This is one of my favorite love songs that I have found to send to my wife.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Missouri

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
