My brother, Brad Bryant, was appointed the new School Board Superintendent just a few days ago. Brad was appointed by Governor Perdue last week to fill the remaining term of Kathy Cox, who recently resigned as Superintendent.
Because the deadline for registering in the Republican primary had already passed at the time of his appointment, Brad is attempting to gain 50,000 signatures by July 13th in order to run for re-election as an independent.
My brother Brad is a highly principled, hard-working person who believes in the importance of a good education for the success of the individual and society.
Brad and I grew up in the Atlanta area. Brad graduated from Presbyterian College, and then earned an MBA from the University of Georgia and a law degree from Mercer University. Brad served for twelve years as a member (seven as chairman) of the DeKalb County Board of Education. In that position, he earned a reputation for being willing to listen to both sides of an argument and make decisions based on facts rather than emotions.
In 2003, Governor Perdue appointed Brad to the State Board of Education, where he served for seven years. In 2008, when the Clayton County Public Schools became the first system in the nation to lose its accreditation in 40 years, Brad and another State Board member were asked by the governor to represent the State of Georgia in helping Clayton County Schools regain accreditation.
As you can see from his e-mail below, Brad is a positive guy who works to bring constructive solutions to very difficult situations. If you are willing to help Brad get on the ballot, please reply to bryantforkids@gmail.com or send me an e-mail.
One way you can help is to make a monetary contribution. Funds are needed for such things as paying people to circulate petitions at large gatherings of people. If you are willing, please send a check (up to $6,100 per individual for the petition phase of the campaign) to "Bryant for Kids," c/o Brad Alexander, 50 Hurt Plaza, Suite 802, Atlanta GA 30303.
Thanks for your consideration of Brad's candidacy.
