Campaign websiteBradley's campaign website stated the following:There is a war on education, and I am the Regent candidate best prepared to fight back.Extremists are banning books, denying facts about climate change, erasing diverse histories, and starving schools of the funding and freedom they need to teach truth. This isn't just policy disagreement; it's a deliberate assault on knowledge, on curiosity, on the very idea that every student deserves a real shot at understanding the world. Our young people are paying the price in lost potential, widened inequality, and a future dimmed by ignorance. I refuse to watch the University of Nebraska's campuses become another casualty.That's why I'm running for the University of Nebraska Board of Regents. As an adjunct professor who's taught thousands of students the hard science of our changing planet, as a veteran who's fought for what's right, and as a 14-year elected leader who's protected our water, land, and communities from real threats, I know what's at stake. The University of Nebraska must be the stronghold that pushes back—defending academic freedom, preserving evidence-based curricula, protecting funding from political raids, and keeping our campuses open to every Nebraskan who wants to learn, grow, and lead. I will fight tooth and nail against the forces trying to drag us backward, so our students get the education they deserve, our faculty can teach without fear, and Nebraska stays a place where truth still matters. This isn't just a seat on the Board—it's a battle for our future. I'm in it to win it.Your Action Means Everyone BenefitsYour vote for Larry Bradley means you’re taking powerful, direct action to protect the education your children, grandchildren, and every Nebraska family truly deserve. You’re standing up against crashing test scores, mass teacher shortages, empty classrooms, and the aggressive campaign to ban books, censor proven science on climate change and evolution, erase diverse histories, and turn our schools into political battlegrounds instead of places of real learning and discovery.By choosing Larry, a leader who’s safeguarded our water and land, a Disabled American Veteran who served with honor, and a longtime UNO professor who’s taught thousands the facts about our changing world, you put a fierce, experienced defender in the room where decisions are made. Your vote means stronger protection for academic freedom, steady funding for programs and faculty, classrooms free from ideological interference, and a University of Nebraska that remains open, inclusive, and future-ready for every student. This is your time to help. Vote for Larry Bradley and secure the education our families need to thrive.— Larry Bradley's campaign website (May 5, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
