His father, Richard, served in the Indiana House of Representatives from 1974 to 1992 and in the Indiana Senate from to 1994 to 2012, where he was the Assistant Majority Caucus Chair.[2] His grandfather William G.

After his father Richard decided to retire from the Indiana State Senate after five terms, Rodric Bray declared his candidacy for Indiana's 37th State Senate district, officially filing to run on January 24, 2012.[14] Bray faced insurance agent and Morgan County Councilman Ryan Goodwin in the Republican primary.[15] Bray defeated Goodwin 10,115 votes (54.8%) to 8,333 votes (46.2%), in the May 8, 2012 Republican primary.[16] Bray went on to face Democratic nominee Jim Cahill, a cement truck driver and Teamsters local president, in the general election. Bray prevailed in the November 6 general election with 36,959 votes (71.2%) to Cahill's votes 14,947 (28.8%).[16]
