Bradley Mark Walker (born May 20, 1969) is an American politician and pastor who served as the U.S. representative for North Carolina's 6th congressional district from 2015 to 2021. A member of the Republican Party, he was elected to head the Republican Study Committee in 2017 and vice chair of the House Republican Conference in 2019. Walker unsuccessfully ran for Senate in the 2022 election, placing third in the Republican primary. He was also briefly a candidate in the 2024 North Carolina gubernatorial election and U.S. House election before withdrawing from that race to join Donald Trump's presidential campaign. On April 10, 2025, President Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate Walker to be the U.S. Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom, a position within the State Department. However, the Senate failed to act on Walker's nomination before adjourning for the year and his nomination expired. On January 8, 2026, Walker announced that he was withdrawing from consideration to serve as Ambassador at Large and instead he was appointed to serve as the Principal Advisor on Global Religious Freedom to the State Department. Walker left this newly created position on April 21, 2026. Walker has filed paperwork to challenge U.S. Senator Ted Budd in the 2028 U.S. Senate election in North Carolina.
