Bradford Jerome Blackmon (born December 21, 1988)[1] is an American attorney and Democratic Party politician from Mississippi. A son of state representative Edward Blackmon Jr. and state senator Barbara Blackmon, he was elected in 2023 to succeed his mother in the Mississippi State Senate.[2][3]

On January 20, 2025, Blackmon introduced the Contraception Begins at Erection Act. The bill would make it illegal for a man to discharge "genetic materials" (semen) without the intent to fertilize an embryo. According to Blackmon, the intent of the legislation is to bring the fundamental role of men into the contraception conversation in response to the large volume of legislative activity targeted only at women.[4]
