Joseph Bradley participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on May 15, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Joseph Bradley's responses follow below.[2]
What would be your top three priorities, if elected?
| “ | PRESSING ISSUES DIRECTLY FROM MY WEBSITE: Healthcare (ADDICTION) While people are debating what to do, real people are dying and families suffering. I am involved in the treatment of it. I educate on it and have been involved with the enforcement of this deadly disease and therefore I call it my PET issue: Prevention; Enforcement; Treatment. Addiction is the #1 healthcare concern in The United States and The State of Nevada is not immune. Approximately 40-50% of all incarceration, nationally, is due to drug offenses. This doesn’t include other offenses where alcohol and/or drugs played a role. Drug overdose causes more death than any other singular cause. Prevention: The education surrounding this epidemic needs to begin early on in our schools. It should be a required topic in health class. Good decisions begin with good information. Enforcement: The enforcement needs to be swift, sure and severe. Let’s identify who needs help. With addiction giving people negative consequences is life saving. Treatment: For non-violent offenses, when clinically appropriate, treatment in lieu of incarceration. Treatment will lower the recidivism rate, keep families intact and lower the need for entitlements. It is financially sound and makes our community safer. Education Nevada is struggling to educate. The Nevada school system is suffering compared to other States, statistically, within the education system in the United States. Graduation rate, national scores and money spent per child are near the bottom. This is NOT just an issue of money, nor is it just an issue of class overcrowding. It is more specifically a matter of meeting our kids needs at a place of where they are. This is a FACT, as there are comparable states that have less per child funding, ranked higher while simultaneously having a higher student to teacher ratio. As your Legislator, I will get a bill passed to make ALL schools in Nevada Therapist practicum sites so whereby one licensed on sight therapist could oversee Master’s level interns allowing for up to 500 hours direct contact therapy hours to students per school, per week for FREE. This not only benefits our students, it saves the state millions of dollars. Additionally, all counties, but specifically here in District 36, we need to form A panel of school principals should be formed so successful ideas are shared. The panel of principals then informs the district(s) of students needs, not the other way around. Schools exceeding standards should be emulated. Schools falling below standards need to be reviewed for corrective changes. Taxes (NO INCREASES) Treat non-violent drug offenses in lieu of incarceration. Treatment is less expensive than incarceration, especially when NO TREATMENT leads to higher recidivism rates. The likelihood to reoffend is higher then the relapse rate following treatment. By treating mental health issues, we assist persons to contribute to communities rather then draining our society on entitlements while barely existing as a human being. As they say in Las Vegas, “Don’t chase your bad money with your good money”. The people should not have to pay for the mistakes or misuse of monies spent by legislation. Rather, the legislature needs to STOP THE WASTE and allow for more money for the governed. This starts with identifying how to save money while helping people to thrive. More money in the pockets of citizens translates into increased spending in our communities. Many retired individuals have a fixed income. Making purchase decisions is easier without the fear of having increased taxes. Additionally, to stop waste while assisting our fellow citizen is a win-win. Being fiscally responsible, compassionate and taking positive corrective action is not exclusive of one another.[3][4] | ” |
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?
| “ | By running for the state legislature representing the people of Nevada Assembly District 36, my hope is to extend my reach beyond my grasp. Being intimately involved in the the treatment of the Addiction epidemic on a daily basis for approximately 20 years, I want to increase the awareness of the devastating effects drugs are having on our children, families and our communities. With my background in law enforcement, education and treatment of this disease, I bring a unique approach to the concerns facing our great state and the devastation of this crisis. Additionally as it relates to our veterans and first responders specifically seeing that they get appropriate substance usage treatment congruent with their co-occurring PTSD.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[4]

Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Joseph Bradley answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow and why?
| “ | Our Framers (founding fathers) collectively as they risked everything for an idea that not only exists today but makes us the greatest nation in the world and it must be preserved.[4] | ” |
| “ | Say it, Mean it, Do it![4] | ” |
| “ | I am a true believer in our foundation and system and fully understand as an officeholder my sole purpose is to be the represented voice of the governed.[4] | ” |
| “ | True understanding of the needs and willingness to do what is right over what is popular. To stand by convictions always remembering the people's needs come first.[4] | ” |
| “ | Through my logic and reason I will have created innovative ideas and programs that will make people's' lives better after my appointment than before my appointment[4] | ” |
| “ | At approximately 5 years of age, the United States landed the first man on the moon[4] | ” |
| “ | None, both are equally important[4] | ” |
| “ | No, I bring a fresh set of eyes to an establishment. Often that is what is most important.[4] | ” |
| “ | That we maintain our own identity as a state and begin to set standards of innovation that other states will wish to emulate.[4] | ” |
| “ | To truly understand each others wants to come together to meet the people's needs.[4] | ” |
| “ | Yes, of course. Without the establishment of a relationship, good or bad, nothing gets done.[4] | ” |
| “ | Healthcare, Addiction, Education, Tax Reform, Preservation of Second Ammendment[4] | ” |
| “ | I would pursue any calling based on the will of the people.[4] | ” |
