📌 The Bradley Bulletin: Colorado is at a Crossroads & We’re the Ones Driving

Dear House District 39 Residents,

I’m writing this because I love Colorado. I cherish our stunning landscapes, vibrant communities, and the spirit of resilience that defines us. But right now, our beloved state is at a tipping point, and I need to be candid:

If you aren’t voting, you are allowing someone else to decide your future.

In recent years, we’ve seen a shift in our state’s political landscape that threatens the values we hold dear. This is a crucial time for each of us to stand up and make our voices heard. Every vote matters, and history has shown us just how thin the margins can be.

Consider these facts right here in Colorado:

• In 2022, Colorado's 3rd Congressional District was decided by 546 votes out of roughly 327,000 cast. That’s just seven-hundredths of a percentage point. It took a mandatory recount to confirm it. A congressional seat came down to fewer people than fit in a high school gym.

  
  

• Many local elections, including school board positions and tax measures, are decided by fewer than 50 votes. These decisions directly impact our families, schools, and communities. When we don’t vote, we’re letting others choose the direction of our local policies and resources.

  
  

• In past elections, hundreds of thousands of Coloradans have chosen to stay home. This “silent majority” has inadvertently handed the reins to those who may not represent our values or priorities. When you opt out of the process, you are essentially giving away your power.

Let’s talk about the practicalities of voting in Colorado.

If you put your ballot in the mail this week, there is a real chance it will not count. Not because of fraud, and not because of a conspiracy. Colorado is a "received by 7 p.m." state. A postmark means nothing here. If your ballot isn't physically in the Douglas County clerk's hands by 7 p.m. on Tuesday, November 3, it does not count. That is the entire rule. The deadline to mail it has already passed.

So: do not mail it. Drop it in a box.

There are 23 drop boxes in Douglas County, open 24 hours a day, and you can use any one of them. Over 90% of us live within three miles of one, and the closest to our neighborhoods are listed at the bottom of this email. It takes 30 seconds.

Let me tell you why 30 seconds matters:

Last November, the Castle Pines City Council race in District 2 was decided by 33 votes out of 2,149 cast. Thirty-three people chose that seat, in a town most of us drive through every week.

Meanwhile, when Douglas County held its home rule charter vote in June 2025, roughly seven in ten voters stayed home. Seven in ten let the other three decide how their own county is governed.

So if your ballot is on the counter right now, put it in the car. If it's under 3 days of mail, dig it out. If you never got one, or aren't sure you're registered, go to a voter service center they'll fix it on the spot and you can vote there. Four are open across the county.

Don’t be the reason House District 39 goes off the cliff.

Go vote. For our corner of Douglas County. For your family. For our future.

📌 The Bradley Bulletin: Let’s Bring Back Common Sense – Get Out the Vote!

Dear House District 39 Residents,

As we stand at a critical crossroads in our state’s history, I’m reaching out to each of you with an urgent call to action. In just 13 days, we have a defining moment for our communities, our families, and our future. We need every one of you to join the fight to bring back common sense to our state!

Why This Election Is Different

Think about the issues we face every day. Rising costs of living, inadequate healthcare, failing schools and these are not just statistics; they are the realities that affect our lives and the lives of those we love. We’ve seen firsthand how decisions made by those in power can have devastating effects on our communities. This election is our chance to flip the script and demand accountability from our leaders. We can no longer afford to sit on the sidelines!

Your Vote is Your Power

1. Your Vote Matters: With only 13 days left, history shows us that elections can be decided by a handful of votes. Your voice matters! When you cast your ballot, you are standing up for your beliefs, your values, and your community. Don’t let someone else decide your future!

2. Make It Personal: This isn’t just about policies; it’s about people. It’s about our children’s education, our parents’ healthcare, and the safety of our neighborhoods. Share your story with others. Talk about what’s at stake for you and your loved ones. When people connect emotionally to the issues, they are more likely to take action.

3. Ignite the Fire in Others: Don’t just vote! Be a catalyst for change! Encourage your friends, family, and colleagues to register and vote. Share why this election is important to you. The more we talk about it, the more we inspire others to join the fight.

4. Get Involved: We need you on the front lines! Volunteer to help with outreach efforts over these next two weeks. Whether it’s canvassing neighborhoods, making phone calls, or organizing community events, your involvement can make a significant difference. Together, we can amplify our voices and ensure that everyone is heard.

5. Educate and Empower: Knowledge is power! Dive deep into the issues that matter to you and your community. Research the candidates’ positions and understand how their policies will impact our lives. Share this information with those around you. An informed voter is an empowered voter.

The Stakes Have Never Been Higher

We cannot allow complacency to dictate our future. Look around you—do you see the changes that need to happen? Let’s not wait for someone else to step up. This is our chance to reclaim our state and restore the values that matter most to us. With just 13 days until the election, the choices we make now will shape our future for generations to come.

Stand Together for Change

In the coming weeks, let’s come together as a community. Let’s engage in conversations, share our hopes and fears, and remind each other of the power we hold when we unite. Our collective strength can drive the change we desperately need. This is a moment we cannot afford to miss. Let’s show up, not just for ourselves, but for our families, our friends, and our future. The time is now! Let’s get out there and make a difference together!

Thank you for your commitment and passion. Together, we can bring back common sense and create a brighter future for our state.

Thank you for the privilege of representing you.

For families. For freedom. For Colorado.

With gratitude and resolve,

Rep. Brandi Bradley Your Representative for Colorado House District 39

📌 The Bradley Bulletin: Capitol Battles & Upcoming Bills & Events

Dear House District 39 Residents,

The 2026 session is moving fast, and the battles at the Capitol are already well underway.

As always, my mission remains the same: Stand for families. Defend freedom. Protect children. Hold government accountable.

🎉 Let's Celebrate!

HB26-1042 — Dry Needling by Occupational Therapists

Passed committee 12-0 and is headed to the floor for 2nd reading!

Proud to support this common-sense bill with prime sponsor Rep. Lisa Feret.

HB26-1042 allows licensed occupational therapists to perform dry needling — a proven technique for pain relief and muscle recovery. Expanding patient access to care while keeping strong safety standards in place. More options. More freedom. Better outcomes for Coloradans.

📣 Calling All 2A Supporters — Meet & Greet This Friday

Join us at the Capitol for a Meet & Greet with Pro-Second Amendment legislators.

This is a great opportunity to connect, ask questions, and stand together for your constitutional rights.

🗓 Friday, February 13, 2026

⏰ 12:30 PM – 2:30 PM

📍 1515 Sherman Street, Denver, CO 80203 State Services Building (SSB) Cafeteria

Light refreshments will be provided. We hope to see you there!

Here’s a look at what else I’ve been fighting for on your behalf — and what’s coming up next.

🧨 Recent Fights at the Capitol

HB26-1040 — Sterilization Rights of a Person with Disabilities

I supported this bill because it strengthens consent protections before someone with an intellectual or developmental disability can be sterilized. That is a matter of dignity and basic human rights.

However, I also called out the glaring hypocrisy in our laws.

In this bill, we recognize that vulnerable individuals cannot fully consent to irreversible procedures, so we require counseling, alternatives, and strict limits. Yet in Colorado, minors can still be placed on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.

As I said on the floor:

“We require counselling, alternatives, and only allow sterilization in the rarest, life-threatening circumstances in this bill. But look at what we allow in practice when it comes to puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.”

We either believe in protecting children from irreversible procedures — or we don’t.

HB26-1154 — Governor’s Office Supplemental Spending

This bill cuts $743,000 from care providers while directing money to the Colorado Office of Film, Television, and Media.

I stood strongly against it.

My response:

“Those of us trying to feed our families, trying to take care of all of you in all of these districts… he is going to slap people like me in the face because he needs $750,000 for his office of film. What a joke.”

Colorado should be funding care for the most vulnerable, not expanding non-essential government offices.

HB26-1155 — Health Care Policy & Financing Supplemental

This bill limits parents of children with severe disabilities to 56 hours per week of compensation, despite many providing round-the-clock care.

I stood against this measure after hearing heartbreaking testimony from families.

One parent shared she had been on a waitlist for years just to get a few hours of respite care.

Colorado must fix the broken system — not punish the families who are holding it together.
