Joseph Edmund "Jeb" Bradley III[1] (born October 20, 1952) is an American politician and member of the Republican Party who served in New Hampshire’s State Senate from 2009 to 2024.

[5] Bradley lived in Switzerland and worked as a street magician, returning in 1981 to New Hampshire, where he later opened an organic grocery called Evergrain Natural Foods.

[5] In 2004, Bradley defeated political newcomer Justin Nadeau of Portsmouth[5] to win a second term, receiving 63% of the vote.

[11] Bradley faced Democrat Carol Shea-Porter and Libertarian party candidate Dan Belforti in the November 2006 general election.

[16][17] He sided with his party by supporting the war in Iraq, the reauthorization of the USA Patriot Act, the prohibition of federal funding of overseas abortion, the $5 billion subsidy for the Chinese nuclear program.

"[23] In June 2006 he said that he did not support a specific timetable for withdrawing American troops from the country, but that he saw signs of progress that the United States would be able to leave "sooner rather than later".

[24] In August 2006 he said that Iraq needed a stable government and more security forces before the United States could set a withdrawal date.

A few weeks into the new legislative session, Bradley's local State Senator, Bill Denley, resigned the seat after being charged with drunk driving for the third time.

He was unopposed in the September 14 Republican state primary, and faced Democratic candidate Beverly Woods in the November 2 general election.

In mid-August 2010, a month before the primary, Bradley stated that Guinta should consider dropping out of the race if he was unable to explain some possible irregularities in his campaign finance reports.

[31] He also supported the controversial Education Freedom Account program,[32] which since 2021 has funneled nearly $45 million of public funds toward private schools with no oversight.

[33] In 2024 Bradley fought to radically amend the Senate’s version of HB1163, which would have legalized cannabis and regulated it similarly to alcohol, though he later voted against it anyway.
