Dainoras Bradauskas was born on 16 December 1965 in Telšiai, Lithuania.

He is the son of Bronius Bradauskas, who is a former Seimas member (MP).

Bradauskas is married.

His spouse is Airė Bradauskienė.

He has two children: a son named Karolis and a daughter named Arielė.

In 1989, he graduated from Vilnius University with a qualification as an economist.

In 2022–2023, he served as an economic advisor to the Director General of Vilnius University Hospital Santaros Klinikos.

From 2017 to 2024, he worked as a Project Manager at the private company UAB “Bartžuvė”.

He was the Head of the State Tax Inspectorate (VMI) from 2015 to 2017.

As the Director (Head) of the State Tax Inspectorate (VMI) from 2015 to 2017, Bradauskas’s gross monthly salary was approximately €6,000 (estimated), based on typical pay for that position around that time.

In 2015, Dainoras Bradauskas won the public competition to become Head of the State Tax Inspectorate, scoring 9.5 out of 10 (the highest among five finalists selected from 11 registered candidates).

In 2013–2015, Bradauskas served as Deputy Head of the State Tax Inspectorate under the Ministry of Finance.

During his tenure as Deputy Head of the State Tax Inspectorate (2013–2015), his average monthly salary was around €5,000 gross (estimated).

From 2010 to 2013, he was Director of the Tax Obligations Department at the Vilnius County State Tax Inspectorate.

From 2001 to 2010, he served as Deputy Head of the Vilnius County State Tax Inspectorate (after heading its arrears collection unit).

From 1997 to 2001, he was Deputy Head of the Tax Collection (later Arrears Collection) Division at the Vilnius City Tax Inspectorate.

From 1993 to 1997, he continued as a Chief State Tax Inspector (group leader) in the Vilnius City Tax Inspectorate’s Personal Enterprises division.

From 1990 to 1993, he served at the Vilnius City State Tax Inspectorate as a Chief State Tax Inspector.

In 1990, he worked as a Senior Tax Inspector at the Vilnius City State Tax Inspectorate.

He was elected as a Member of the Seimas in 2024 and began his term on 14 November 2024 via the "Nemuno Aušra" party list.

He is a member of the "Nemuno Aušra" parliamentary group (faction) in the Seimas.

By late 2023, Bradauskas had aligned himself with the newly established party "Nemuno Aušra" and was included in its candidate list for the 2024 Seimas elections.

He was a member of the Seimas Commission for Parliamentary Scrutiny of Criminal Intelligence from 5 Dec 2024 until 12 May 2025.

Since 4 December 2024, he has been a member of the Seimas Commission for Addiction Prevention.

Since 19 November 2024, he has been a member of the Seimas Committee on Budget and Finance.

For the 2024 Seimas elections, Bradauskas was assigned to the Pilaitė–Karoliniškės single-member constituency but was not elected there; instead, he entered the Seimas via the nationwide multi-member constituency, as his party "Nemuno Aušra" won 14 seats (with ~15% of the vote) in the Parliament.

In the October 2024 Seimas elections, Bradauskas ran in the Pilaitė–Karoliniškės single-member constituency of Vilnius but did not advance to the runoff; the two candidates who moved on were Radvilė Morkūnaitė-Mikulėnienė of TS-LKD (who garnered ~28.4% of the vote in the first round) and Vytautas Sinica of National Union (~13.1%).

In the 2024 elections, he also ran in the single-member Pilaitė–Karoliniškės constituency.

In the 2020 Seimas elections, Bradauskas ran in the Kaišiadorys–Elektrėnai single-member district and finished seventh, securing 6.4% of the vote (1,120 votes) in the first round, thus failing to advance to the runoff.

He was a candidate in the 2020 parliamentary elections, running in the Kaišiadorys–Elektrėnai single-member constituency under the Lithuanian Social Democratic Labour Party (LSDDP).

According to 2024 declarations published by the State Tax Inspectorate (VMI), Bradauskas and his wife Airė together declared around €3.4 million in assets and income – the bulk of it in real estate value, along with roughly €1.2 million in shareholdings.

Bradauskas has declared ownership of real estate abroad – specifically, two apartments in Turkey with a total estimated value of about €132,000 (as of 2023).

In May 2025, the State Security Department (VSD) recommended denying Bradauskas a security clearance to work with classified information, citing legal grounds that he was not reliable or loyal; as a result, he was removed from the parliamentary intelligence oversight commission.

On 20 January 2017, Finance Minister Vilius Šapoka announced that Dainoras Bradauskas would be dismissed as VMI head for gross misconduct (leaking internal information during secret meetings with MG Baltic vice-president Raimondas Kurlianskis).

In a secret conversation with MG Baltic’s vice-president Raimondas Kurlianskis (circa 2015), Bradauskas disparaged some politicians – at one point saying he wanted to “get” LSDP’s Gintautas Paluckas because Paluckas was a “brazen, nasty type.”

Bradauskas stated in May 2025 that the negative VSD conclusion (denying him clearance) was related to "events of ten years ago" that were already well-known and examined.

Following the 2024 elections, Bradauskas was identified as the wealthiest newly elected MP, with declared assets valued at over €3.16 million.

His 2024 VRK asset declaration showed a total wealth of about €3.2 million, including approximately €1.7 million in property, €1.2 million in securities (and other valuables), and around €243,000 in cash.

In his 2024 VRK candidate questionnaire, Bradauskas reported annual income of €327,890 (presumably for the year 2023).

UAB "Bartžuvė" – the private company where Bradauskas worked (and in which he owns 50% of the shares) – reported annual sales of about €512,000 and a net profit of roughly €65,700 (according to 2023 data).

Between his dismissal from public office in 2017 and his election in 2024, Bradauskas’s personal wealth grew substantially – by 2024 he declared about €3.2 million in assets – but the public record does not detail the specific sources of this rapid wealth accumulation beyond his business ownership.

His father, Bronius Bradauskas, was one of the wealthiest members of Seimas; for example, in 2016 Bronius and his family declared assets totaling about €8.2 million (primarily in stocks (~€3.4M) and real estate (~€3.4M), with around €1.3M in savings).

In 2012, Bradauskas’s father Bronius Bradauskas (a longtime politician) declared an impressive wealth of 24.9 million litai (approximately €7.2 million at the time), including about 11.75 million LTL in securities, and was a shareholder in several companies (such as "Lamantinas", "Lamantino tarpininkai", "Donetas" and "Bartžuvė").

He speaks multiple foreign languages, including English (proficient), German (advanced), Polish (advanced), Russian (proficient), and basic Turkish.

According to his VRK candidate profile, Bradauskas had been a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1989–1990), the Liberal and Centre Union (1999–2000), and the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party (2019–2020).

He owns 50% of the shares of UAB "Bartžuvė" (the company where he worked as a project manager).
