Trayce has been a grassroots volunteer for the last 14 years, serving Texas and fighting for conservative principles. She served as President of Texas Eagle Forum for the past 4 1/2 years, and before that served as President for Dallas Eagle Forum for 4 years. Additionally, she founded Tarrant County Eagle Forum in 2012.
During her time as president with Dallas and Tarrant County Eagle Forum, those groups hosted a Federal Senatorial Forum that included all six candidates; educated group members on critical subjects such as human trafficking, pro-life issues, religious liberties, and security for Texas Grid - to name just a few. She currently serves as the Eagle Forum National Issues Chair on Human Trafficking.
Trayce Bradford is a wife of 31 years, mother of 7, grandmother of 3, and a native Texan and faithful citizen of these United States of America.
- We must protect our children against the attacks on their identity, education, and safety.
- We must secure our border, bring economy and safety back to our communities, shore up the process to immigrate legally, and bring an end to human trafficking
- We must stop government overreach. We have lost the consent of the governed as our state leadership pursues power and profit over the people in our state.
Second Amendment Rights, Sanctity of life from conception to death, election integrity, energy independence, and Texas sovereignty.
I have been a volunteer for 14 years working to bring good legislation to our legislative body, educating voters on the issues, and learning the process of our state government. I am not a politician but I have been fighting for the conservative principles in my platform this entire time. From budget committees to being on the board of various groups as well as being President of Dallas and Texas Eagle Forum, I have worked through the entire legislative process without being bought and paid for by special interest groups.
Liberty First, Rule of Law, Consent of the Governed, Equality, Limited Government - these are the foundational elements of conservative leadership in an elected office.

Campaign website
Bradford's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Sanctity of Life Life is a gift of God and we are created in His image. Valuing and protecting each life from conception to natural death is essential and foundational to this nation. This includes abolishing abortion, as well as, protecting the elderly from being discarded. Border Security & Texas Sovereignty The U.S. Constitution, under Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3, specifically grants the states sovereign authority to take the lead when they are being threatened by invasion or imminent harm. There is no compromise. Election Integrity Honest elections are a MUST for any liberty-loving state or nation to thrive and flourish. Securing the vote from beginning to end must be a settled issue for the voter. Any form of defrauding a citizen's vote must be met with swift and substantial penalties. Protecting Our Children As Americans, our parental rights are foundational and non-negotiable. Education is the parents' responsibility and choice. The responsibility of our elected officials is to remove the bloated administration costs and to return education back to focusing on children’s basic learning skills - such as reading and writing. Legislation should always support our Texas freedoms and parental rights. Anti-Human Trafficking Modern slavery exists and is endemic at our border and in our state. Ending human trafficking, protecting the victims, and prosecuting the traffickers is paramount. Trafficking happens in the dark and must be brought into the light. Energy Independence As an energy state, Texas should be leading the nation in cutting edge and reliable advances in our energy sector, as well as, restricting tax incentives to renewable, more expensive, less reliable energy sources such as turbine and solar. Consent of the Governed The God-given and constitutional rights to freedom of speech, right to assemble, practicing our faith, safeguarding our property and due process under the law are the epitomai of what it means to be an American. It is the duty of our elected officials to honor these rights and ensure they are always promoted and protected. Stop Government Overreach Small businesses should be on a level playing field as corporations. Essential businesses and winners should not be chosen, subsidized, or mandated by state and local governments.[3] |
