Bradley Leo Buckley (born September 14, 1966) is a Texas veterinarian and Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives for House District 54, which includes part of Bell County and all of Lampasas County in Central Texas.[2][3]
Buckley earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1989 and his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1993 from Texas A&M University.[2]
Since 1994, he has been a veterinarian having his own practice in Killeen, Texas.[2]
On May 22, 2018, Buckey defeated incumbent Scott Cosper in the Republican primary runoff election for the Texas House District 54.[4] On November 6, 2018, Buckley won the general election with 53.8% of the vote; Kathy Richerson, his Democratic opponent, received 46.2%.[3][5]
In 2021, Buckley introduced legislation that would prohibit companies that produce meat-like substances made from plants from using the terms "meat" in their labelling.[6] Livestock companies and their lobbying organizations supported the bill, while plant-based food companies like Beyond Meat and Impossible Burgers described the bill as a violation of free speech.[6]
