Born in Ripley, Derbyshire, Bradley graduated with a first-class honours degree in Politics from Nottingham Trent University in 2013 following a stint of being a landscape gardener and administrator. Following this, he took the role of Campaign Manager for Mark Spencer, the Member of Parliament for Sherwood.
First elected on to the Nottinghamshire County Council in May 2017 for the Hucknall North seat, Bradley then became Member of Parliament for Mansfield in the snap General Election in June of the same year. He was the first Conservative to be elected in Mansfield since the constituency’s creation in 1858, unseating the previous incumbent of 30 years.
In early 2018, Bradley was appointed as vice chairman of the Conservative Party, with responsibility for youth engagement. Following on from this appointment, in March he re-launched the Young Conservatives organisation, the national youth wing of the Conservative Party. He resigned from this role in July 2018 in order to be able to speak out for his constituents on Brexit.

In 2019, Bradley was re-elected as the MP for Mansfield with a 16,306 majority, the largest Conservative increase in the country.
He has sat on both the Women and Equalities Select Committee and Education Select Committee in Parliament.
In May of this year, he became Leader of Nottinghamshire County Council after winning one of the two Mansfield North seats.
He replaced long-serving Conservative Group leader Kay Cutts, who had stood down at May’s local elections, as the Conservatives took overall control at County Hall for the first time in 12 years by winning 37 seats on the 66-strong council.
