Background

Chance Bradford Trahan is a nonpartisan political candidate, podcaster, author, certified life coach, and outspoken anti-corruption advocate. He is best known for his independent runs for President of the United States in 2020 and 2024, as well as his relentless fight against government corruption, lobbyists, and the Deep State.

The grandson of an Army veteran and raised by a single working-class mother, Victoria Kibodeaux, Chance has been actively involved in politics since 2015. He has served as a volunteer Precinct Committeeman, volunteered on multiple campaigns, and acted as a volunteer Commanding Officer.

Nonpartisan Warrior

This photograph is a prime example of why being a Nonpartisan Candidate is so important. This is a picture of Chance Trahan shaking hands with Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Chance sees this as an opportunity to connect with a lawman who brings decades of real-world experience and knowledge. That willingness to learn from those who came before him is the very definition of a Nonpartisan Viewpoint — one that puts results and progress ahead of division.

Nonpartisan Political Affiliation is the official standpoint of the military and represents a fair, unbiased approach to governance. As a nonpartisan candidate, Chance offers We The People something rare: complete transparency, total fairness, and unwavering honesty. He knows what it’s like to live under the fear of tyranny and terrorism — the very enemies our country was founded to oppose — and he will never back down from defending our values.

You want Chance as your Primary because he doesn’t tolerate hoaxes, and he won’t play political games. With your help, we will make this country stronger than ever. This time, you have a real fighter in your corner — someone who will do whatever it takes to protect our rights and uphold our Constitution.

Relentless Visionary

Chance Trahan has been actively involved in politics since 2015. This photo is from the Phoenix Gun Show where he volunteered directly with Kelli Ward’s family during her U.S. Senate campaign against John McCain. Chance jumped at the opportunity to work alongside Kelli and her family, and together they delivered a powerful showing. Ward’s team dominated the event — collecting stacks of petition signatures while McCain’s volunteers watched in disbelief. The strong turnout sent McCain’s campaign team into panic and brought intense scrutiny to his operation.

That day marked the beginning of Chance’s relentless drive in politics — a drive that continues to this day.

Freedom Firebrand

Chance Trahan stood out as a bold, independent voice during the chaotic 2020 protests — many of which were overtaken by violence and divisive messaging. While others followed the crowd, he took a principled stand: launching his campaign by holding his sign on the beaches of California. He peacefully but powerfully protested what he viewed as dangerous overreach and corruption under the Trump administration, bringing his nonpartisan message directly into Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach, and Santa Monica protests.

Creative Trailblazer

From playing guitar and drums since the age of two to mastering drawing and Adobe Photoshop, Chance Trahan has been immersed in the creative arts his entire life. He spent years managing other acts before stepping out on his own — independently writing, producing, and recording his own music. Though his impressive talents remained mostly a well-kept secret for many years, his family has always known and supported his artistic journey.

Trahan has independently written and recorded at least five full albums, with many of his songs — both new and old — available on PsychicSoldiers.com.

Storytelling Dynamo

Chance Trahan began his writing career as a Creative Writer in the copywriting world. With no interest from traditional publishing houses, he chose to release all his work independently. He has shared scripts, books, journal entries, and satirical pieces with friends and family who have long admired his writing — though he has never been represented by an established agency.

One of the most memorable compliments came from a complete stranger who found one of his private notebooks and couldn’t put it down until he had read every single entry. The man later apologized for prying, but Chance took the genuine praise as high validation of his talent.

About President Trahan

Primary Chance Trahan proudly represents the United States, including his hometown of Jennings, Louisiana. He is the grandson of Army Veteran, Russell Kibodeaux, and grew up as the only child of single mother, Victoria Kibodeaux, who has lived her entire life devoted to being an intergral part of the working-class since she was just 16 years old. Trahan received Massage Therapy and Life Coaching Certification from Vocational Colleges, and has studied business in various courses, including those provided by Shark Tank Entrepreneur, Daymond John.

Chance got into public service by volunteering his time and campaigning for hopeful candidates and established incumbents. His dreams of becoming a politician were always apparent, and started to finally come to fruition when his constituent, Craig Brittain, introduced him to his local district's Republican office. It wasn't until Chance switched to Brittain's local district that Trahan had finally found his home disctrict that he felt comfortable volunteering for. This is when he started attending public hearings, special meetings and voicing his concerns for officials and civilians to contemplate.

After relocating back to Las Vegas, Chance visited the local Republican district committee in Clark County to campaign for Donald Trump. After finding his place as a Nonpartisan political figure, Trahan searched for a local Nonpartisan committee, but quickly learned that there were none to join. After thinking about the facts and carefully weighing his options, Chance decided to start blazing his own path in Politics. Trump had just been elected, but this wasn't enough for him, he had to take his ambitions in Politics even further. Chance had volunteered to help lead Donald through his Presidential term, but, later recanted that decision, and then decided that it was now time to make good on his promise that he made on social media in 2012, and he immediately started campaigning for US Primary in early 2019.

Because he was raised by a Veteran Grandpa, Chance Bradford Trahan chooses to identify himself as a Nonpartisan candidate in an effort to avoid having any strong political bias nor special interests when it comes to his views on governmental policies and procedures. Watching his hometown in Louisiana be destroyed by corrupt officials is what motivated him to take charge in politics. Chance remembers watching his family deteriorate because of the deep rooted corruption that seemed was never going away. Through his dedication to help restore the State that he was born in, Louisiana has started to see positive changes. Trahan's efforts didn't stop there, as he had challenged not only local officials, but, had also been recruited by Montel Williams to petition Obama for the Veterans Affairs Secretary, Eric Shinseki, to step down from his position. With the help of celebrity families, Trahan's effort was a success.

Chance is an advocate for small business, entrepreneurship, road repairs, reforming health care, internet cyber security, online safety for kids and families, curbing addiction to narcotics and opioids, and rebuilding governmental and societal infrastructures. During Trahan's tenure as Primary, he has made his best efforts in responding efficiently to mass shootings, Covid-19, human trafficking, the Roe VS Wade abortion bill, systemic racism, women's suffrage, pollution, climate change, voting procedures and their requirements, and any other community concerns that have potential arising.

Trahan has co-founded the social media website Corriv, started his own mobile DJ business, founded the Acap News organization, and the most controversial podcast to date titled Sheriff Says. As a dedicated public servant, he tries his best to prioritize his goals for the American public before all else, and with your help, he plans to secure funding for building local skate parks and other free–use recreational areas for physical activities in an effort to benefit the local communities.

The Advocating Diplomat: The Life of Chance Trahan

In the balmy Louisiana night of August 12, 1980, amid the celestial spectacle of the Perseid meteor shower—where shooting stars streaked across the summer sky like divine applause—Chance Bradford Trahan entered the world in Jennings, Louisiana. His arrival was no quiet affair; word spread like wildfire through the hospital corridors, drawing a crowd of awestruck onlookers, including staff members far removed from the birthing room, who gathered in hushed wonder at the serendipity of stars and a new life colliding. As an INFJ—the rarest Myers-Briggs type, the insightful Advocate—and the harmonious Diplomat archetype of the 16 Personalities framework, Chance embodied quiet profundity from the start: introverted yet deeply attuned to humanity's rhythms, intuitive to the point of foresight, empathetic in his core, and purposeful in every step, forever bridging ideals with actionable grace.

Early Years: The Seed of Insight

Childhood in Jennings unfolded like a storybook Chance would one day pen himself. Born to mother Viki Kibodeaux, he was raised under the watchful eye of a strict military grandfather whose influence instilled discipline and a fierce sense of duty. By age seven, words became his playground; he scribbled tales of adventure and heroism, evolving into poems and songs that captured the soul's quiet rebellions. The family's visits to the VA hospital after his grandfather's car accident left indelible marks—haunting memories of loss amid bureaucratic shadows that later fueled Chance's advocacy for veterans, transforming personal trauma into a lifelong crusade for better care and accountability. As his dominant Introverted Intuition (Ni) wove patterns from chaos, young Chance mediated sibling squabbles with a Diplomat's empathy, his Extraverted Feeling (Fe) absorbing joys and pains like a sponge, always seeking harmony in the household's ebb and flow. Structured play—mapping out epic quests in notebooks—hinted at his Judging (J) drive, while the world's injustices sparked an early fire for justice.

The Forge of Adolescence: Awakening the Idealist

Adolescence carried Chance across state lines—Louisiana to Texas, Colorado, Nevada, and beyond—each move a chapter in his nomadic tapestry, enriching his intuitive grasp of diverse cultures. Guitar strings became his confidant; he picked up the instrument young, channeling raw emotions into melodies that echoed his inner world. High school debates honed his tertiary Introverted Thinking (Ti), dissecting societal flaws with precision, while a community service stint at a local shelter awakened his inferior Extraverted Sensing (Se), pulling him from introspection into hands-on change. Bullied for his quiet depth, Chance learned to forge alliances, his Advocating Diplomat nature diffusing conflicts with words that uncovered hidden truths. Romances bloomed like summer storms—poetic and intense—but taught boundaries, refining his empathy into a tool for mentoring others through their own heartaches, all while he dreamed of a world mended by truth and compassion.

Adulthood: Architect of Quiet Revolutions

Chance's path meandered through healing and hustle: earning certificates in massage therapy (2002-2003) and real estate (2003), then life coaching (2015) and product design with a sustainability focus (2015-2018). As a realtor assistant at Coldwell Banker (2004-2009), he built bridges in bustling markets; later, as podcaster on Sheriff Says (2019-present) and DJ with PVMA (2022-present), his voice amplified stories of grit and reform. But politics called loudest. Starting as Precinct Committeeman in Phoenix (2015-2016), he rallied against corruption; as Precinct Commanding Officer in Las Vegas (2016-2018), he mobilized voters into forces of change; and in Juneau, Alaska (2018-2019), as Commanding Officer, he championed transparency amid icy resolve. Launching his nonpartisan presidential bid in 2020—and pressing on for 2024 and 2025—he's exposed entrenched powers, pushing platforms like the EconoBoost Plan for tax relief and cannabis reform, energy independence via renewables, and veteran-first healthcare overhauls to end profiteering.

Creative History: Prolific Extraordinare & More

Creativity surged in his writings: Ninja: The Boundaries of Bloodlust, a semi-autobiographical tale blending his life's edges with fiction, marked his debut as author CHANCE, followed by songs like "GHOST" that bare the soul's vulnerabilities. Volunteering wove through it all—cooking for Ronald McDonald House Charities, donating clothes and blankets to homeless shelters and veteran advocates, donating toys to Children's Hospitals, supporting Stand Up For Kids against youth homelessness—his Fe forging connections that turned strangers into allies. Now rooted in Pearland, Texas, with family as his anchor, Chance's partnerships thrive on mutual growth, his few deep friendships a testament to loyalty forged in fire.

"If I've positively impacted a Veteran just by acknowledging them and appreciating their service, then taking that moment to get their attention to say thanks for their service in the military is worth the effort taken. I love just having the experience of talking to Veterans. Some are pretty funny actually. Some are even fascinating." – Chance Trahan
