TO RECOGNIZE BRADLEY S. WRIGHT FOR HIS YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, MOST RECENTLY AS GENERAL COUNSEL AND CHIEF OF STAFF OF THE OFFICE OF THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, AND TO WISH HIM WELL IN HIS NEW ENDEAVOR AS SPECIAL COUNSEL TO THE MCNAIR LAW FIRM.
Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives note that Bradley S. Wright served on the staff of the House of Representatives for a decade between January 2005 and January 2015; and
Whereas, Brad received a bachelor of science degree in business administration with a concentration in economics from Auburn University in 1996, and a juris doctor degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1999; and
Whereas, after having practiced law with the McNair Law Firm, Brad began his service to the House of Representatives in 2005 when he was appointed to the position of Co-Counsel to the House Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee, serving with distinction under Committee Chairman Harry Cato; and
Whereas, in September of 2007, Brad accepted the position of Legal Counsel to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and later served as General Counsel and Chief of Staff of the Office of the Speaker of the House of Representatives under both Speaker Robert W. Harrell, Jr., and Speaker James H. "Jay" Lucas. He served in this position until returning to the McNair Law Firm in January 2015 to serve as Special Counsel. During his tenure, his work included advising the body on such complex issues as workers' compensation reform, tort reform, government restructuring, and many other legislative and constitutional matters; and
Whereas, Brad's vital and wide-ranging responsibilities also included providing leadership to the entire House staff, providing support to each House member, and advising the Speaker on legal and parliamentary issues; and
Whereas, this die-hard Auburn fan (WAR EAGLE!) also was known to arrange an occasional road trip with House colleagues to cheer on other SEC football programs. Luckily his lovely wife, Tracy, and their twins, Jackson and Sullivan, are ever supportive of his sporting event exploits, even if they do occasionally involve Patrick Dennis; and
Whereas, in the fall, if Brad is not in the stands of Jordan-Hare Stadium, you will likely find him up in a deer stand; in the spring, look for him in the tidal creeks of the South Carolina coast enjoying a leisurely day of fishing for flounder with his father; and
Whereas, the members and staff of the House of Representatives will miss Brad's skill and resourcefulness; his enthusiasm, vision, and loyalty; his wonderful sense of humor; and the professionalism with which he conducted the business of the House of Representatives; and
Whereas, it is appropriate for the members of the House of Representatives to pause in their deliberations to express their high regard for this dedicated public servant, Bradley S. Wright, and the many and varied contributions he made as a House staffer over a decade of distinguished service to the House of Representatives as he resumes his career as an attorney in the private sector. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize Bradley S. Wright for his years of service to the House of Representatives, most recently as General Counsel and Chief of Staff of the Office of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and wish him well in his new endeavor as Special Counsel to the McNair Law Firm.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Bradley S. Wright.
