"IT'S TIME TO PUT OUR PRIORITIES IN ORDER AND MAKE A GREAT STATE EVEN GREATER."

 

Representative John R. Bradford, III, NC House District 98

​

In this most recent legislative session Rep. Bradford secured over $25M in specific project funding for the three towns in District 98 and Mecklenburg County.

 

Cornelius:

  • $2.5M for the Cain Center for the Arts.

  • $500K for Smithville Revitalization (historic black community.)

 

Davidson:

  • $500K for pedestrian and sidewalk safety (Note: Davidson’s Town budget is only $13M so this is a significant amount of money for the town.)

  • $100K for Davidson Community Players.

 

Huntersville:

  • $12M in funding to backfill ARPA funds that the feds did not give them due to a formula change so I fought to get the gap funding in the budget.

Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities-Related:

  • $1.15M for Aspire Trade High School in Huntersville which focused on students that are on the autism spectrum disorder.

  • Champion of tax reform to allow working families to keep more money.

  • Reform NC regulations to help businesses solve the supply-chain issues that are helping to drive inflationary costs for consumers.
