In 2009, Brunner was elected to the City Parliament of St. Gallen, where he remained until 2020.[2] He sat on the infrastructure committee in this role.[2] In the meantime, he unsuccessfully ran for the National Council in 2007, 2011, and 2015.[3] In 2019, he was finally successful, his election considered a surprise by media outlets.[4] After entering Parliament, he sat on the Science, Education and Culture Committee.
