Pursuits of Justice

Justice is the act of giving back, restoring, or making something right. Everyone in politics is in the justice business in one form or another. Pursuits of Justice is a collection of speeches and writings completed during the course of Dave Bradley's eight-year tenure in the Arizona State House of Representatives. These writings represent Bradley's thoughts during his elective career. They are not meant to be a broad, sweeping treatise on public policy or political philosophy. Instead, Bradley hopes others may find his writings interesting and helpful in developing their own political thoughts and aspirations.
