David Frederick Hadley (born November 14, 1964) is an American politician currently serving in the California State Assembly. He is a Republican representing the 66th district, which consists of most of the South Bay. Prior to being elected to the state assembly, he was an entrepreneur and investment banker.

On October 4, 2013, he announced his run for the State Assembly, to represent the people of California’s 66th State Assembly District in the South Bay region of Los Angeles.[1] Prior to committing to run for the California State Assembly, Hadley was the chairman of the Republican Party for the 66th State Assembly District after having been elected to the leadership of the Republican Party of Los Angeles County in 2012.[2][failed verification] Under his leadership, the local Republican Party formed a community of supporters called the South Bay 100.[citation needed] This group raised more money in 2013 than any other Republican Assembly District central committee in the state.[3][failed verification]

On November 4, 2014, in a low turnout Midterm Election Hadley defeated incumbent Al Muratsuchi of California's 66th State Assembly district for reelection by a margin of 50.3% for Hadley compared to 49.7% for Muratsuchi, which was only 706 votes.[citation needed]

Early life and education

Hadley was born and raised in Fullerton, California and graduated from Servite High School in Anaheim.[4] He received his bachelor's degrees in both Economics and History from Dartmouth College (1986), and he completed his Master of Science in Economic History at the London School of Economics (1994).

Business career

From 1986 to 1999, Hadley was an employee of BT Alex Brown and its predecessors and affiliates, including BT Securities Corporation and Bankers Trust Company. During his employment he worked in New York and Atlanta, and moved with the firm to Los Angeles in 1996. When Hadley resigned in June 1999 upon the acquisition of BT Alex Brown by Deutsche Bank,[5] he was a managing director in the media & communications investment banking group. In June 1999, Hadley founded Hadley Partners, Incorporated. The firm has completed over 50 transactions and over $2.5 billion of transaction value on behalf of its clients.[6][failed verification]

Politics and Assembly Campaign

In 2011 and 2012, Hadley served as the chairman of the Beach Cities Republicans, the largest[citation needed] Republican Party grassroots organization in the South Bay. Hadley is credited[by whom?] with reviving the Beach Cities Republicans after a leadership absence created by the departure of the previous chairman. After two years as chairman, Hadley was succeeded by Evan Chase.[7][failed verification] During his leadership of the Beach Cities Republicans, Hadley published approximately 15 opinion articles in the Daily Breeze, the Daily News and/or the Long Beach Press-Telegram.[citation needed] He has expressed support for the Tea Party in the past[citation needed], in 2011 he hung a Tea Party flag at his home.[citation needed] In June 2012 Hadley was elected to the board of the Republican Party of Los Angeles County, representing the 66th Assembly District.[8][failed verification] In this election, he received more votes than any other candidate in the county despite being a first-time candidate.[citation needed] Hadley was then elected chairman of the Republican Party for the 66th Assembly District by the other eight elected and ex officio members.[9][failed verification] As local party leader, Hadley’s primary initiative was the formation of the South Bay 100 as a program of the Assembly District.[citation needed] The South Bay 100 is a community of over 175 people who have contributed money to strengthen and unify the center/right of the political spectrum in the South Bay.[citation needed] They are also working to unify the Republican Party around its best candidates as early as possible in the election cycle.[citation needed] Hadley’s second major activity as party chairman was to recruit possible candidates to run for the 66th Assembly District seat in 2014.[10][failed verification][11] Hadley has publicly stated that he actively tried to recruit Torrance Mayor Frank Scotto, Gardena Mayor Paul Tanaka and former Redondo Beach Mayor Mike Gin, among others, to run for this seat.[citation needed] When none of these candidates elected to run, Hadley himself committed to the race.[citation needed] Hadley has been endorsed by a number of local leaders, including: Torrance Mayor Frank Scotto[citation needed]; Gardena Mayor Paul Tanaka[citation needed], former Redondo Beach Mayor Mike Gin[citation needed] and several local city council members[citation needed], as well as billionaire Charles Munger Jr who ran a multimillion-dollar parallel campaign on Hadley's behalf.[12][failed verification] In a minor controversy, the Hadley campaign was fined by an ethics committee for inadvertently breaking a rule on contribution limits, the Hadley campaign has since returned the money.[13] When Hadley committed to run for the state Assembly seat, he stepped down as chairman of the local Republican Party.[14][failed verification] In the fall 2016 race, cell phone users have complained that Hadley uses robo callers to make illegal calls to cell phone numbers. [15] [16]

Assembly Career and Legislation

Hadley is a member of the Natural Resources, Banking and Finance, Utilities and Commerce committees and the vice chairman of the Aging and Long Term Care Committee.[17] Legislatively, David Hadley has spent his time in the Assembly focused primarily on education issues. Hadley believes race has no place in determining how our students are evaluated for the purpose of college admissions and voted against the controversial SCA 5 (which was withdrawn on March 17, 2014 by State Senator Ed Hernandez per request of 3 senators that originally supported the bill: Leland Yee, Ted Lieu, and Carol Liu)[18][failed verification] [19][self-published source] In 2015, AB306, a bill Hadley authored that gives the children of military personnel better options in choosing which school district they matriculate into, regardless of on-base housing's location, was signed into law.[20] He has voted in favor of strengthening the death penalty.[21] He believes government has no right to force businesses or religious organizations to provide service to same sex couples such as a ceremonial wedding, or any other service that would go against the business owner's religious beliefs.[22] He worked with environmentalist Erin Brockovich to create an awareness of the poor quality of water in the city of Gardena in 2015-2016.[23]

David is known as a maverick for voting independently at times against his own party, the California Republican Party.[citation needed] An example was Senate Bill 350 where Hadley was one of the only 2 Republicans that voted in favor of the bill.[24][failed verification]

Personal life

Hadley has been married to Suzanne Hoff Hadley since June 19, 1992. They have four children: Jack, Claire, Ellen and Faith. They have lived in Manhattan Beach, California since 1996.
