Education

Tufts University, BA

Jeb Bradley was born in Rumford, Maine, and grew up in Wolfeboro, where he still lives. He earned a degree in sociology from Tufts University in 1974 and lived in Switzerland, where he worked as a magician. Bradley owned and operated a health food store with his wife before selling it in 1997. He also ran a painting business. Most recently, he managed real estate.

He was elected to the town planning board in 1986 and three years later was named to the budget committee. He was a registered Democrat until 1989, when he switched to the GOP. He won a seat in the New Hampshire House the next year and was re-elected five times.

Bradley won a seat in the U.S. House in 2002 when Rep. John E. Sununu moved to the Senate and was re-elected in 2004 before losing to Democrat Carol Shea-Porter in 2006. Bradley is now facing an Election Day rematch with Shea-Porter. He and his wife, Barbara, have four children.
