All votes by Brady Brammer

Business litigation and education

Brady Brammer is a partner at Brammer Ranck, where his Senate biography describes a practice focused on business law and business litigation. He earned his bachelor's degree, law degree and Master of Public Administration at Brigham Young University. Before his Senate service, he also taught ethics and business law at BYU as an adjunct professor. [1]

Two chambers, different dates

Brammer was first elected to the Utah House in 2018 and began serving in the Senate in 2025. The earlier date shown for the start of his overall legislative career should not be read as the start of his Senate tenure. He represents Senate District 21, covering parts of Highland, Alpine, Cedar Hills, Lehi, American Fork and Pleasant Grove. [1]

Tax, justice and government work

His Senate assignments include Revenue and Taxation and Judiciary, Law Enforcement, and Criminal Justice. The current roster also lists Criminal Justice Appropriations, General Government Appropriations and judicial-confirmation work. Those assignments give him roles in both substantive lawmaking and budget review. His official biography describes family policy, opportunity and economic growth as interests, without supplying a scorecard of results. [1] [2]

In the 2026 General Session, Brady Brammer was chief sponsor of S.B. 63, Assault Modifications. It amends the assault and aggravated assault statutes so that a chokehold used under specified circumstances does not count as those offenses. The governor signed it on March 23, 2026. [4]

In the 2026 General Session, Brady Brammer was chief sponsor of S.B. 68, Disability Litigation Amendments. It adds a sunset date for the law on abusive website access litigation and creates a way for a court to decide whether a website accessibility lawsuit under the Americans with Disabilities Act is abusive, with attorney fees for the defendant in some cases. The governor signed it on March 23, 2026. [5]

The proposed UVU law-school study

A February 9, 2026 Utah System of Higher Education update identified Brammer's S.J.R. 8 as a proposed UVU law-school feasibility study focused on Thanksgiving Point. Its status then was pending Senate consideration. A feasibility study is different from opening or accrediting a law school. The proposal illustrates his interest in legal education, while its dated status should not be mistaken for a final session outcome. [3]
