Hadley was born and raised in Fullerton, California and graduated from Servite High School in Anaheim. 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, he was a managing director in the media & communications investment banking group. In June 1999, Hadley founded Hadley Partners, Incorporated.
Political background and experience
Hadley previously served as the chairman of the Beach Cities Republicans.
In June 2012, Hadley was elected to the board of the Republican Party of Los Angeles County, representing the 66th Assembly District.
After election to public office, Hadley created the South Bay 300 Club which raised funds for his 2016 re-election campaign, charging $1000 for admission to the club.
In September 2016, Hadley announced he would not vote or support the Republican nominee for the presidency, Donald Trump. He said "I am not voting for either Secretary Clinton or Mr. Trump. Both have shown themselves unfit for the highest office in the land. Neither reflects the South Bay values that this citizen legislator is trying to bring to Sacramento."
Legislative tenure
In 2015, Hadley authored AB 306 to give the children of military personnel better options in choosing which school district they matriculate into, regardless of on-base housing's location, which was signed into law.
