Nikki Bradley (born 23 January 1986)[1] is an Irish Fine Gael politician who has served as a senator since July 2024.
[3][5][6] Since 2013, she has undertaken a variety of physical-fitness challenges, such as climbing four mountains (Carrauntoohil, Croagh Patrick, Slieve Donard and Errigal) in 32 hours.
[9] On 10 July 2024, Bradley was nominated to the 26th Seanad by the Taoiseach, Simon Harris, to fill the vacancy caused by the election of Regina Doherty to the European Parliament.
[13] Neither she nor her Fine Gael running mate was elected, marking the first time since the 1930s that the party did not win a seat in Donegal.
[14] Bradley's post-election interviews sparked anger and went viral after she claimed that a "negative attitude" persisted in Donegal and that voters were "moaning and groaning" about issues.
