  Bill Bradley at AllExperts
Bradley had harbored political ambitions for years, and in 1978 decided to run for United States Senate in New Jersey, for a seat held by liberal Republican and four-term incumbent Clifford P. Case.
Bradley was re-elected in 1984 with 64% of the vote, and he still retained popularity in New Jersey from his Knicks days and from practices such as his annual Labor Day talk-to-citizens stroll along Jersey Shore beaches.
Bradley's campaign ultimately foundered, in part because it was overshadowed by Senator John McCain's far more attention-gaining, but ultimately unsuccessful, campaign for the Republican nomination, and in part because it was not able to match Gore's organization once the multiple-primary Super Tuesdays began.

Bradley had been talked about as a presidential contender as early as the 1988 election, and he finally decided to make a run in the 2000 primaries, challenging incumbent Vice President Al Gore for his party's nomination.
Bradley positioned himself as an outsider and a progressive alternative (though his Senate record was not significantly further left than Gore's), and made campaign finance reform, gun control, and children's poverty his signature issues.
