Ballotpedia biographical submission form

The candidate completed Ballotpedia's biographical information submission form:

What is your political philosophy?

I have always wanted to run for office, it has always been in my blood. This open Senate seat is a unique, once in a generation opportunity where there is no heir apparent and the Republican Party is at a crossroads. I want to provide a fresh, dynamic new voice for Republicans and lead for the future. My priories while in office include:

  • Electoral Reform
  • Refocus on Debt and Deficits
  • Ensure free speech is guaranteed everywhere for everyone (especially Conservatives who are being targeted for censorship)
  • To serve as a bridge between social conservatives and the gay community on issues of public policy

Is there anything you would like to add?

Bryan and his partner Mark have been together for 15 years and have a rescue dog named Matty.[3]

—Bryan Pruitt[1]
