Personal life
Bradley was born in Topeka, Kansas and relocated to San Jose in 1918. Bradley was married 3 times. While in office as an Assemblymember, he married his administrative assistant, Della Bradfield.[3][4] He had four children with his first wife Carol.
Career
After graduating from San Jose State University and University of California, Hastings College of the Law Bradley served in the United States Navy during World War II as a Lieutenant-Commander. He became an attorney and began working in politics.
Political views
He was described as a staunchly conservative Republican for his anti-Equal Rights Amendment stance and his opposition to legislation that would enable action on air pollution in California.[5][6] He also led the opposition on a bill that would increase consumer protections by making product warranties enforceable.[7] He was ‘blacklisted’ by then Governor Ronald Reagan for being the lone Republican vote opposing a tax bill which resulted in it failing to pass.[8] Bradley also was against reducing the voting age from 21 to 18 in the United States.[9]
