PA-14: Former Veteran, FBI Agent (D) to Challenge Reschenthaler (R)

Alan Bradstock, a Desert Storm veteran and retired FBI agent, has declared his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for Pennsylvania’s 14th Congressional District seat, presently held by Republican Guy Reschenthaler.

The native of Donora is a graduate of Washington & Jefferson College and was commissioned as a U.S. Army aviation officer after graduation. During his service, he earned a Master’s degree in International Relations from Troy (Ala.) University.

After his military career, Bradstock joined the FBI as a special agent. Rising through the bureau, he became a supervisor in the Counterterrorism Division. He has also served as Deputy Legal Attaché at the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa, working closely with Canadian law enforcement and intelligence agencies.

Bradstock’s campaign website lists his campaign priorities as economic security; universal healthcare; removing money from politics; restoring constitutional norms and rule of law; real government efficiency; restoring character and competence to government; and reducing partisan extremism.
