A lawyer by profession, Brodie was elected to City Council in 1996 and again in 1999, as part of the centre-right Richmond Non-Partisan Association (RNPA).[2] After the resignation of mayor Greg Halsey-Brandt, Brodie was elected mayor in a special by-election on October 29, 2001. He left his RNPA party, and now serves as an independent. Brodie was re-elected by large margins in 2002, 2005, 2008, 2014 and 2018.[3] He is the second-longest-serving mayor in Richmond's history, next to Ruby Grauer, who served from 1930 to 1949.[4]
