Mia Bradley is a senior political science major at Stephen F. Austin State University and a Fall 2026 Archer Fellow with the University of Texas System. Born and raised in East Texas, Mia has seen the impact of manufacturing policy firsthand. She first became interested in manufacturing when several local factories were permanently closed, and her community began to suffer. As a public policy intern at AAM, she will have the opportunity to advocate for the revitalization of American industry and communities just like hers. After graduating in December 2026, Mia hopes to attend law school and pursue a career in the legal field or in policy and advocacy.
