Home City News District court judge candidate profile: Neal Brady

Neal Brady has been a prosecutor in Hillsdale for 18 years, and announced his plan to run for district court judge in February. The support Brady has seen is enormous — having recently received the endorsement of former congressman Nick Smith, Sen. Bruce Caswell (R-MI) and Rep. Ken Kurtz (R-MI).

“We worked together for many years, he has a passion for justice,” Kurtz said. “He originally encouraged me to run for office, so I wanted to do the same for him.”

“I’ve known Neal for a number of years,” Caswell said. “He is sensitive, caring, willing to go the extra mile, helpful and just.”

Brady earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from Alma College and his law degree from Western Michigan Thomas Cooley Law School before working as a clerk in Jackson County, an assistant prosecutor in both Jackson and Hillsdale counties, and as a Hillsdale County prosecutor.

A native of Saginaw, Michigan, Brady is married to his wife Lois, and they have six children.  He has been the head coach of the Hillsdale Academy varsity soccer team for the past 12 years.
