"[6] As was to be expected in this heavily Democratic district, Bracy defeated Oliveira in a landslide, receiving 69% of the vote, and was sworn into his first term in the Florida House of Representatives later that year.

Bracy defeated environmental activist Chuck O'Neal, former Orange County Commissioner Bob Sindler, and former state senator Gary Siplin in the Democratic primary.

[10][11] He finished second in a field that included, among others, political activist Maxwell Frost, who won, as well as former US Representatives Alan Grayson and Corrine Brown in the August 23, 2022 Democratic primary.

Bracy's statement argued that the publication of booking photographs on the internet has made them remain in perpetuity and caused "persistent and permanent" damage, even in cases where charges are ultimately dropped, "the person is ultimately found not guilty by a judge or jury, or his or her arrest record is subsequently sealed or expunged.”[19] In June 2020, Bracy authored an op-ed in the Orlando Sentinel arguing the state legislature "must reform police in wake of brutality" in the wake of the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.

[20][21] Bracy's proposal for a special session included 10 measures he wanted considered including: removing investigations of police shootings from internal to outside entities, increasing jury pay; ensuring diversity on jury panels; mandated officer training on “implicit bias and de-escalation;” published annual data on an “analysis on racial disparity;” and inclusion of a “civilian review board member” on an investigative team.

[22] In the 2021 Florida legislative session, Bracy sponsored several bills, including SB 730, that would lead to officers facing third-degree felony charges under certain circumstances where they use chokeholds or other related tactics.

He also introduced SB452 and 482 mandating uniformed standards for body and dashboard cameras and creating a statewide police misconduct registry that tracks the history of law enforcement officers, respectively.

[2] Bracy was one of few Democrats to vote for legislation authored by utility company Florida Power & Light (FPL) to phase out net metering for rooftop solar panels.
