After narrowly losing in 2004, Brisson defeated incumbent Democrat Edd Nye in the 2006 Democratic primary for house district 22, and he ran unopposed in the general election. Brisson defeated primary challenges in the 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2016 elections and defeated his Republican challengers in the 2010 and 2014 elections.
During the 2016 legislative session, Brisson was one of 11 Democrats to vote in favor of House Bill 2, the controversial "Bathroom Bill."[4]
On October 25, 2017 Brisson announced his intention to switch from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party. He cited his district's rural character and the increasing liberalness of the Democratic Party as the reasoning for his decision.[5]
