Biography
American attorney, Christian layman, and a Republican candidate for governor of Texas in the 1974 party primary election. A lawyer for thirty-three years, he served for a time as an assistant district attorney in the Fort Worth area.
Though he made a weak showing in the 1974 Republican primary for governor of Texas, McBrayer is considered a precursor of the "New Right" in American politics.
As a candidate, McBrayer advocated the televising of executions to increase the effect of deterrence on criminals.
He died on 18 March 2008, aged 77, in Idabel, McCurtain County, Oklahoma.
