He was the lead sponsor of the following legislation.

2010

During the 2010 campaign, Brochin raised $344,316, had $131,245 on hand, and spent $225,413 on his campaign.

On his website, he writes: "Over the last 9 years, I have always voted my conscience placing my constituents’ best interests above anything else. As I promised 9 years ago, my votes have reflected fiscal conservatism combined with a great concern for protecting open space and saving the Chesapeake Bay. I continue to remain an independent thinker, placing policy before party."

In 2010, Brochin won with 24,346 votes or 58.39% of the vote.

In 2010 during the debate over medical marijuana in the Maryland General Assembly, Senator Brochin professed his support for medical marijuana.

In a mailed form letter on 6.9.10, Mr Brochin wrote: "I supported the medical marijuana bill which could relieve the suffering of our most vulnerable citizens. [The bill] allows someone who has pain through a chronic or terminal illness to be prescribed medical marijuana. Medical marijuana has been shown to stimulate appetite for those that must undergo chemotherapy."

2011

In 2011, The Washington Post reported that Brochin would support same sex-marriage in the state of Maryland: "Brochin said at a news conference that while he has been willing to support civil unions between gay couples previously, the word "marriage" was a "stumbling block". He later called testimony from same-sex marriage opponents ''"appalling and disgusting.

... I just heard hate and venom coming out of that hearing."''

The Advocate found similar statements from the senator.

In the article he is quoted as saying: "What I witnessed from the opponents of the bill was appalling ... Witness after witness demonized homosexuals, vilified the gay community, and described gays and lesbians as pedophiles. I believe that sexual orientation is not a choice, but rather people are born one way or another. The proponents of the bill were straightforward in wanting to be simply treated as everyone else, and wanted to stop being treated as second-class citizens. For me, the transition to supporting [same sex] marriage has not been an easy one, but the uncertainty, fear, and second-class status that gays and lesbians have to put up with is far worse and clearly must come to an end."

2013

In March 2013, the Fairness for All Marylanders Act of 2013 (SB 449), came up for vote in the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee.

The bill, which would have added gender identity and expression to existing state law prohibiting discrimination in housing, employment and public accommodations, failed to pass the committee in a 5-6 vote.

Brochin cast one of the six opposing votes, effectively blocking the bill from receiving a vote by the full Senate.

Brochin's website lays out every bill the senator has supported.

Some positions he held were controversial.

As an effort to mitigate the anger of the populace against Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE) owned by Constellation energy, Brochin held a meeting in Towson High School.

The Baltimore Sun reported "The meeting, held at Towson High School, was attended by dozens of residents who spent the first week of September in the dark — and won't let BGE forget about it...But after the presentation [by BGE officials] some level of vitriol was common from the speakers ... For his part, Brochin said one of the reasons to bring up Irene three months later is to evaluate priorities for restoration after such outages."

The Towson Patch also had an article on the subject, "State Sen. James Brochin moderated a Monday evening town hall with representatives of BGE at Towson High School, where officials listened to complaints and concerns of more than 30 residents and promised to do better ... During the question-and-answer session, which lasted for more than an hour, residents grilled [BGE officials] Carostens and McDaniel on what happened during the August storm and the lessons learned."

One person posted audio of the whole meeting in a number of different videos on YouTube.
