Brad Winter is a former Republican secretary of state of New Mexico. Governor Susana Martinez (R) appointed him on December 15, 2015, to replace Dianna Duran (R), who resigned following criminal charges on October 22, 2015. Mary Quintana, a deputy under Duran, served as the acting secretary of state until Winter's appointment.

Winter was the first man to serve as secretary of state in New Mexico since Manuel Martinez, who served as secretary of state from 1919 to 1922.

Winter is a member of the Albuquerque City Council in New Mexico, representing District 4. He was first elected to the council in 1999. Winter served as city council president in 2001, 2002, 2005 and 2008. Winter stated his intention to stay in his city council seat and to not seek re-election as secretary of state in 2016. No law prevented him from serving in those dual roles.

Winter earned a B.A. from the University of Oklahoma. He later received a master's degree and education doctorate from the University of New Mexico. Winter was a teacher for 22 years and served for one year as interim superintendent of Albuquerque Public Schools before retiring in June 2015.
