Bradley Mark Walker (born May 20, 1969) is an American politician and pastor who served as the U.S. representative for North Carolina's 6th congressional district from 2015 to 2021. A member of the Republican Party, he was elected to head the Republican Study Committee in 2017 and vice chair of the House Republican Conference in 2019.[1]
Walker unsuccessfully ran for Senate in the 2022 election, placing third in the Republican primary. He briefly was a candidate in the 2024 North Carolina gubernatorial election[2] before leaving to run for his old House seat,[3] and then withdrawing from that race to join Donald Trump's presidential campaign.[4]
