Senator Bradford was recently appointed as a member to the California’s Task Force to Study and Develop Reparations Proposals for African Americans by Senate President Pro Tem, Toni Atkins. Senator Bradford is an advocate for Criminal Justice Reform, Diversity and Inclusion, empowering underserved communities and bringing equity to the Cannabis industry.

This year Senator Bradford authored 7 bills including SB2 the Police Decertification Act of 2021, creating a statewide process to revoke a peace officer’s certification and SB 796 allowing the County of Los Angeles to return Bruce’s Beach to the remaining descendants of the Bruce Family.

In addition to his legislative accomplishments, Bradford secured more than $140 million in the state budget for Senate District 35 and an additional $20 million for local equity programs and; $30 million in new funding for fee waiver and deferral grants to local equity applicants and licensees.
