This week, we are delighted to be highlighting a dedicated public servant and true leader in the Granite State – Senator Jeb Bradley. When it comes to bringing people together, there is no one more effective and accomplished than Jeb!
Previously a State Representative, Bradley served five terms in the State House, where he chaired the Science, Technology, and Energy Committee.
Following John E. Sununu's decision to run for U.S. Senate, Bradley won the Congressional seat after a competitive eight-person primary race. After two successful terms in Washington, Jeb came back to New Hampshire and was elected to the State Senate, representing his hometown of Wolfeboro and the surrounding area. Previously serving as Senate Majority Leader, Jeb currently holds the #1 job – Jeb Bradley - Senate President.
As President of the Senate, Bradley shoulders significant responsibility not only for the Senate but also for the state itself. Unlike other states with a Lieutenant Governor, New Hampshire's second-in-command is the President of the Senate. Moreover, the job of Senate President is a challenging one. Given its twenty-four member composition where compromise and finding common ground is the name of the game, it’s a role that requires effective leadership, attentive listening, and problem-solving.
Beyond his political career, Jeb is a man of many interests. An avid outdoorsman, he has explored New Hampshire's natural beauty through hiking, skiing, and kayaking. Bradley's remarkable achievement includes completing 'The Grid,' where hikers ascend each of the 48 White Mountain 4,000-footers each month of the year, totaling 576 summits. His environmental advocacy unites people from various backgrounds to protect the state's natural treasures.
In addition to his outdoor pursuits, Jeb Bradley is a devoted family man. Together with his wife, Phyllis, they have raised three children, while instilling, strong family values and fostering community involvement. Jeb, we thank you for your significant contributions and most of all for your unwavering leadership in truly bringing people together!
