Career

Bradley was first elected to Coleraine Borough Council in 1997, representing the Coleraine East District, and was subsequently re-elected in 2001.

At the 2003 Northern Ireland Assembly election, he was one of three DUP candidates standing in East Londonderry, though Bradley himself was not elected.

He was re-elected as a Councillor in the 2005 local elections. Bradley served twice as mayor of Coleraine, firstly between 2007-2008 and later between 2011 and 2012.[3]

Bradley stood for the Northern Ireland Assembly in the 2016 election, after Gregory Campbell stood down and was elected, in the first count, topping the poll.

Bradley was criticised in 2018 for sharing a post that described London mayor Sadiq Khan as "the enemy within" and defending a far-right march in Poland.[4]
