About Brad:

Bradley K. Carter grew up in and around the Peoria area, living in several Central Illinois communities along the way.  He graduated from Washington Community High School in 1991 and went straight into the workforce.  A few years later he met and married his wife, Karen and they have now been happily married for twelve years.  Together, they have three fine young boys.  Karen and Brad both volunteer with the local Cub Scout pack.

Ten years after graduating high school, Brad enrolled at Midstate College.  At the same time, he took on a second job to make ends meet.  Brad graduated with honors a few years later earning a degree in Computer Science.  After graduating, Brad was able to return to working just one job at a local metal fabricating company, where he has been employed for over ten years, holding several different job titles.

Brad is also a community leader.  Along with being a Cub Scout leader, he also is the president of his neighborhood association, leader of a neighborhood watch, and volunteers with the local chapter of the Guardian Angels patrolling the streets of Peoria helping to deter crime.

Brad now wants to serve his fellow citizens in a greater capacity.  He wants to restore Constitutional government, bring a common sense approach to fiscal responsibility, and refocus on policies that return head-of-household jobs back to America.
