ERC chairman Ken Chadwell looks forward to Bradley’s appearance at the War Memorial.
“Wayne Bradley is a bold conservative, and one of the most followed black conservatives on Twitter,” said Chadwell.
“We look forward to hearing his perspective on politics and culture.”
He added, “The Forum is open to the public at no charge, so we invite anyone interested in current events to attend.”
Following graduation in 1999 from Michigan State University with a B.A. in public relations and advertising, Bradley joined Infinity Mortgage Associates where he served as branch manager and loan officer.
In 2005, he became associate broker at Complete 1 Homes, serving Wayne and Oakland counties.
Then in 2009, Bradley launched a multimedia group with his blog, news website, and “Conservative is Cool” talk radio. There he built a strong internet presence with over 19,000 followers on Twitter, and another 4,000 Facebook friends.
In launching his media group, Bradley observed, “There is a glaring need to bridge conservative values, the Republican Party, and conservative leaders in urban areas within both African American and Latino communities.”
It was with this successful media background that he was recruited in 2013 by the Republican National Committee to help build coalitions within urban areas throughout Michigan.
The Eastside Republican Club Forum is normally held on the third Tuesday of the month from September through June. Admission is free and the public is always welcome. Stay up-to-date and “like” the ERC on Facebook.
