Bradley said he previously worked with Nutt while on Spartanburg County Council from 2014 to 2018. He led efforts to raise deputy pay by 30 percent, added $4 million annually for road and bridge improvements without raising taxes and opposed every property tax increase while on council.
Bradley said, “After prayerful consideration, I’m running for state senate to deliver real conservative reform in Columbia. I love our community and our state, but we must tackle the biggest challenges facing Spartanburg and Greenville Counties: fix our crumbling and congested roads, lower taxes and attract economic development while managing growth responsibly.”
Former Spartanburg County Clerk of Court Hope Blackley has also announced her candidacy for the South Carolina Senate, District 12 seat.
