Bradford Blackmon

Bradford Jerome Blackmon (born December 21, 1988) is an American attorney and Democrat in the Mississippi State Senate from the 21st district since 2023. A son of state representative Edward Blackmon Jr. and state senator Barbara Blackmon, he was elected to succeed his mother after she purposefully dropped out of her re-election race to clear the field for her son.

Born in Jackson, Mississippi, Blackmon attended St. Andrew's Episcopal School, becoming a star football player. He was recruited to the football team for the University of Pennsylvania, where he majored in political science. He later received a Juris Doctor from the University of Mississippi School of Law. He now works as an attorney at a law firm owned by his parents and serves as a city prosecutor for Magnolia, Mississippi.

Blackmon drew national attention in January 2025 after introducing the Contraception Begins at Erection Act, a satiric bill that would make it illegal for a man to discharge semen without the intent to fertilize an embryo.
