Meet Bradley K. O'Neal (BKO)
Hello There!
My name is Bradley K. O’Neal,
your friendly neighborhood delegate!
I have spent my entire life in Annapolis and continue to find inspiration every day from the people, neighborhoods, and energetic spirit of our city. To serve this community is not just work I aspire to do, rather it is the calling I hope to dedicate my life to.
I am a graduate of Annapolis High School and have participated in many community groups, which has provided me with a deep understanding of both the present challenges and the rich history of our home. I am a beekeeper, an Eagle Scout, a former professional baseball player, a two-year Navy Federal Credit Union team member serving our community, an entrepreneur and inventor.
Above all,
I am a student of life.
These experiences have shaped my vision and prepared me to represent you as Maryland State Delegate for District 30A.
My goals as your Delegate are straightforward:
- Expand opportunity for youth through stronger programs and pathways
- Protect seniors and retirees through stability focused policy
- Solve local infrastructure issues through state and city coordination
- Restore ecosystems by defending pollinators and clean water
These are my goals, but my promise is simple:
I will serve with unwavering passion, grit, honesty, and integrity.
When I look back on my career, I aspire to be known as a delegate who listened, learned, and worked tirelessly to make Annapolis and Maryland a stronger, safer, and more resilient home for everyone.
I am prepared to roll up my sleeves and get to work for you because this community deserves nothing less.
Public Service means Accountability, Accessibility, and Results.
My job is to help the government work better for all of us by serving you and our neighbors.
If you face a concern or see an issue in the community, reach out anytime—my phone is always open!

My Goals As Your Delegate
Lead movements and events, while uplifting and promoting organizations who inspire a continual sense of hope within our youthful communities.
Retain Our Retirees & Protect Our Seniors
The various financial burdens our retirees and seniors face has become detrimental in the retention of these communities.
A commitment to focus on and support communities and groups who may be suffering within our communities.
Promote the Healing of Our Environment (by Saving the Bees!)
The outdoors has always been central to who I am.
As a child, I played football for the Pal Hawks; baseball for teams such as the Generals Highway Tigers, Pal Astros, and the Annapolis Admirals; and swim team for the Mayo Marlins and the Truxton Park Penguins, while continuing these sports throughout my years at Annapolis High School.
My path in becoming an Eagle Scout strengthened my sense of stewardship through projects that maintained natural spaces, addressed community needs, and supported environmental rehabilitation. The dedication put forth to sports, community service, building local businesses, and the beekeeping journey has provided me with a foundational grounding of expertise, professionalism, and a well crafted thought process which has allowed me to find a plurality of successes at a relatively young age.
My connection to our neighborhoods and the strong sense of belonging derives only from a lifetime of hard work alongside my neighbors within Annapolis. Each piece of my life has started here, in the spaces provided by our environment, and without such environmental spaces I would not be the person I am today.
Lessons passed down while gardening with my grandmother allowed me to acquire the necessary skills to maintain a thriving garden of roses, butterfly bushes, and seasonal plantings. Time with my grandfather watching birds at his feeders deepened my appreciation for the quiet beauty of the natural world.
All of these experiences have formed the foundation of my relationship with our environment, while shaping my understanding of the profound implications the environment has on our daily life, community identity, and our sense of home.
My Promise
"I will represent you with an endless amount of fervor and grit,
while maintaining a firmness in both honesty and integrity."
