By Jacob Tietyen | City of Fairchild, Durkee County

Dylan Bradley is hoping to become Badger Boys State Governor. He is from Mequon, Wisconsin, and represents the City of Fairchild in Durkee County here at Badger Boys State. I was granted an exclusive interview with him.

Jacob T: First off, Thank you for meeting with me. I won’t keep you too long because I know you had a long day.

Dylan Bradley: Yeah. No problem.

JT: Just an icebreaker question, if you can have any superpower, what superpower would you have and why?

DB: Good question. It would be the ability to be multiple places at once. I feel I sacrifice too much time in order to be in some places. I want to be able to go to everything I want.

JT: Why did you decide to run for Governor?

DB: I decided to run for Governor because I was afraid. I was afraid that there was going to be someone better. That thought became almost a fear or sorts. I needed to run so I could face that [fear].

JT: Why do believe that you should be Governor/ Why should people vote for you?

DB: I think I am qualified because I have experience. I know people. I lead my Boy Scout troop. I lead in band and DECA Organization. This gives me the opportunity to provide a platform and a friend to Badger Boys State. I came in with a goal to make friends. Not boost myself up, but to make friends.

JT: You mentioned DECA. What does that mean?

DB: DECA used to be acronym. It is a business club on the international level. It helps with public speaking skills.

JT: You also mentioned you were a leader in band. How so?

DB: I play the tenor [saxophone] and I will be up for head chair next year for the tenors.

JT: Last question, what are your plans for after Badger Boys State, and high school?

DB: My plans are to pursue Aerospace Engineering. I want to go to Purdue or Iowa State, and to take on a leadership position with either Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, and other Aerospace focused companies.

JT: Thank you for granting the interview, and good luck in elections.
