Democrat John Bradley Running for Hornell’s Ward 6 Alderman

I am thrilled to announce that I am running as a Democratic candidate for Alderman of Ward 6 in the City of Hornell. I am passionate about making Hornell a better place to live, work, and play.

My spouse and I have lived in Hornell for eight years. I have seen the complex challenges facing our city and am committed to collaborating with the other members of the Common Council to find effective solutions. 

If elected as Ward 6 Alderman, I will prioritize economic development, public safety, and improving city services for all residents. With a focus on building strong partnerships with community stakeholders, I am committed to ensuring that the voices of Ward 6 residents are heard and that their needs are addressed.

This is my first time running for an elective office, so I bring a fresh perspective, innovative ideas, and a collaborative approach to governance. Although I am proud to be a member of the Democratic Party, I believe we must move beyond polarizing ideology to adopt practical, common-sense policies that will improve the quality of life for everyone in our community.

Professionally, I work from home as an instructional designer for a communication skills training company. My spouse of 30 years, Michael Hopkins, is a “retired” Episcopal priest who still has an active Sunday ministry with several parishes in Steuben County. I serve on the Vestry of St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church in Bath. I mentor a weekly online class, engage in community organizing for the Buy Nothing Project, and administer a Mastodon server. Michael and I share our home with a beagle and a gray cat adopted from the Finger Lakes SPCA. I enjoy science fiction books, movies, and television shows.

I invite all residents of Ward 6 to support my candidacy and help build a stronger, more vibrant Hornell for all. Together, we can create a better future for our city. You can follow my campaign at https://www.facebook.com/JohnBradleyHornellWard6.

episcodon.net Press Release

A Better Social Media Experience for Episcopalians

As dissatisfaction with Twitter and other centralized social media platforms grows, one Episcopalian has responded by launching a Mastodon server geared for Episcopalians.

episcodon.net is designed to be a safe and pleasant community for all individuals and groups connected to The Episcopal Church,” said John Clinton Bradley, the administrator of episcodon.net. “Our server rules discourage many types of harmful behavior found on other social media platforms. Members are in complete control of what content they see and with whom they interact.”

Mastodon is a decentralized platform of independent servers. Founded in 2016 by Eugen Rochko, Mastodon has steadily grown in popularity. During the last month, thousands of new servers and millions of new members have joined the network. Members of episcodon.net can read, follow, and interact with members of other Mastodon servers if they wish.

Visit https://episcodon.net to join. Membership is free. It is not supported by advertising, but members are welcome to make recurring donations using Patreon. Members can participate in episcodon.net through a web browser or a mobile app.
