Brawley supported a controversial plan that would add toll lanes to I-77 in Charlotte.[5][6][7] In 2015, Brawley voted for a bill that will add toll lanes to I-485 and US 74 by 2019.[8]

In 2017, Brawley sponsored a bill that would establish a committee to analyze the impact of breaking up large school districts.[13] The committee found that breaking up the district would cause resegregation, disrupt bus routes, and cause legal issues.[14][15] In 2018, Brawley voted for a bill that would create allow four majority-white suburban towns in Charlotte to create their own charter schools.[16][17] This bill was criticized by the North Carolina NAACP President, Anthony Spearman, saying this was an attempt to create "Jim Crow independent school districts".[18]

Brawley voted for a bill that would allow landfill operators to spray landfill fluids, called leachate, into the air.[19][20] In 2014, Brawley voted for a bill that would allow Duke Energy to clean up their coal ash spill.[21] In 2017, Brawley voted to cut funding from the NC Department of Environmental Quality, days after the GenX story broke.[22][23]

Brawley was defeated for re-election in 2018 by Democrat Rachel Hunt.[24] He lost a rematch against Hunt in 2020. Brawley is the Republican nominee for the seat again in the 2022 election.
