Bradley submitted the following answer to the question, "What is your political philosophy?" through Ballotpedia’s biographical information submission form:
| “ |
Veteran, America First, Re-Unite Citizens, Term Limits, Healthcare Reform, Smaller Government, Enforce Immigration Laws, Border Security, 2nd A, Education Voucher System, Fix Student Debt Issue, Trade Schools, Champion Foreign Policy and Relations, Support the "Rule of Law", End the Homeless Crisis, Increase Benefits for Medicare Recipients, Bolster VA Benefits and Streamline Health Care. "“UNITE AMERICA” Let’s fight to save America instead of each other. This your invitation to put aside Party Affiliations and Polarizations to Unite and fight for each other. I am your Voice and Soldier Why am I different? I am from a multicultural family that believes everyone is created equal therefore must be treated with respect and equality. I am a veteran that served our country honorably and have taken the oath to serve. I am uniquely qualified in several areas that make me the best choice for senate. After serving our country in the USCG under Ronald Reagan, I finished my degrees in Business, Finance and International Business. I applied this schooling throughout my 30-year career in healthcare and entrepreneurial businesses that gave me experience in the private, public and international sectors. I am Veteran, Patriot, America First, Re-Unite, Constitutionalist that wants to re-unite our great country and end the divisions. I want to bring families together once again and unify in our great country. We have seen over the past administrations the decline in our morality and issues that have been politicized creating victims from our citizenry. With me that all changes for a better America. I am a seasoned senior executive with the skills and experience to make this all happen.[2] |
