Brady was selected to contest the Altrincham and Sale West, following the retirement of the Conservative MP Fergus Montgomery. Brady was elected as MP for Altrincham and Sale West at the 1997 general election with 43.2% of the vote and a majority of 1,505.{{cite web |title=Election Data 1997 |url=http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/electdata_1997.txt |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111015054424/http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/electdata_1997.txt |archive-date=15 October 2011 |access-date=18 October 2015 |publisher=Electoral Calculus}} He was the youngest Conservative MP to be elected in 1997, having been elected just before his 30th birthday.{{cite book |last1=Waller |first1=Robert |last2=Criddle |first2=Byron |title=The Almanac of British Politics |date=1999 |publisher=Routledge |location=London |isbn=0-415-18541-6 |page=XXXI |edition=Sixth}} In the party leadership election that followed, Brady supported Michael Howard.{{cite book |last1=Waller |first1=Robert |last2=Criddle |first2=Byron |title=The Almanac of British Politics |date=1999 |publisher=Routledge |location=London |isbn=0-415-18541-6 |page=15 |edition=Sixth}}

Brady made his maiden speech in the House of Commons on 2 June 1997. From 1997 to 2001 he was a member of the Education and Employment Select Committee and its Employment Sub-Committee. He was joint secretary of the Conservative Party Committee for Education and Employment from 1997 to 2000.

In 1998 Brady made enquiries to John Bourn, at the time Comptroller and Auditor General, on his decision not to publish a National Audit Office report on the controversial Al-Yamamah arms deal.{{cite web |title=Exhibit 1 |url=https://cryptome.org/soil/soiled-dove2.htm#Exhibit%201 |website=Cryptome |access-date=25 May 2019 |date=29 June 1998 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171005131607/https://cryptome.org/soil/soiled-dove2.htm#Exhibit%201 |archive-date=5 October 2017 |url-status=live }} The same year, Brady was one of only 13 Conservative MPs who voted in favour of an equal age of consent. He was a member of the executive of the 1922 Committee from 1998 to 2000.

Brady became Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to the Chairman of the Conservative Party, Michael Ancram in 1999. He was made an Opposition Whip by William Hague in 2000. In February 2000, Brady complained about anti-grammar school literature circulated to parents in Altrincham by Michael Evans, then head of Trinity Church of England High School, arguing that this violated rules about public funds being used for campaign material – a complaint subsequently upheld by Secretary of State for Education David Blunkett.{{cite news |title=Complaint upheld over grammar campaign |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/648224.stm |access-date=25 May 2019 |work=BBC News |date=18 February 2000 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190525061832/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/648224.stm |archive-date=25 May 2019 |url-status=live }} That same year Brady became an opposition spokesman on Education and Employment.

Brady was re-elected as MP for Altrincham and Sale West at the 2001 general election with an increased vote share of 46.2% and an increased majority of 2,941.{{cite web |title=Election Data 2001 |url=http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/electdata_2001ob.txt |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111015054450/http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/electdata_2001ob.txt |archive-date=15 October 2011 |access-date=18 October 2015 |publisher=Electoral Calculus}}

Following the election, Brady continued as an opposition spokesman on Education and Skills under the leadership of both Hague and Iain Duncan Smith. He became the Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Leader of the Opposition, Michael Howard, in 2003, and an opposition spokesman on foreign affairs and Shadow Europe Minister in 2004.https://web.archive.org/web/20041207152624/http://www.grahambradymp.co.uk/AboutGraham.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20040823010611/http://www.conservatives.com/people/person.cfm?PersonID=5117 From 2004 to 2005 he was a member of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister Select Committee and its Urban Affairs Sub-Committee. He was vice-chair of the all-party Montserrat Group from 2006. He became a member of the Treasury Select Committee and rejoined the executive of the 1922 Committee in 2007.

At the 2005 general election, Brady was again re-elected with an increased vote share of 46.4% and an increased majority of 7,159.{{cite web |title=Election Data 2005 |url=http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/electdata_2005ob.txt |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111015054249/http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/electdata_2005ob.txt |archive-date=15 October 2011 |access-date=18 October 2015 |publisher=Electoral Calculus}}

On 29 May 2007, Brady resigned his post as Shadow Minister for Europe in protest at Conservative leader David Cameron's opposition to grammar schools. He told the BBC that "faced with a choice between a front bench position that I have loved and doing what I believe to be right for my constituents and for the many hundreds of thousands of families who are ill-served by state education in this country, there is in conscience only one option open to me", and argued that "grammar schools in selective areas are exactly the motor that does drive social mobility more effectively than comprehensive areas".{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6701877.stm |title=Tory quits post over grammars row |work=BBC News |date=29 May 2007 |access-date=4 July 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070705120706/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6701877.stm |archive-date=5 July 2007 }} Brady's own constituency has retained a selective rather than comprehensive education system.

Brady was secretary of the all-party Fluoridation Group and Infrastructure Group from 2008. From 2009 he was treasurer of the all-party Thailand Group and vice-chairman of the Cannabis and Children Group.

At the 2010 general election, Brady was again re-elected with an increased vote share of 48.9% and an increased majority of 11,595.{{cite web |title=Election Data 2010 |url=http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/electdata_2010.txt |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130726162034/http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/electdata_2010.txt |archive-date=26 July 2013 |access-date=17 October 2015 |publisher=Electoral Calculus}}

The committee, sometimes known as "The 1922" for short, is the parliamentary group of the Conservative Party and has a central role in the election of the Leader of the Conservative Party. Since 2010 Brady oversaw the election of 4 Conservative Leaders (Theresa May in 2016, Boris Johnson in 2019, Liz Truss in 2022 and Rishi Sunak in 2022) all of whom became the Prime Minister since the Conservative Party had been in office throughout his tenure as chairman.

He resigned as 1922 Committee chairman on 24 May 2019 in order to explore launching a bid to become leader of the Conservative Party in the weeks that followed,{{cite web |url=http://www.cityam.com/278117/its-nearly-over-theresa-may-set-announce-her-departure-date |title=Sir Graham Brady and Jeremy Hunt join race to replace Theresa May |last=Searles |first=Michael |date=24 May 2019 |website=www.cityam.com |access-date=24 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190524113121/http://www.cityam.com/278117/its-nearly-over-theresa-may-set-announce-her-departure-date |archive-date=24 May 2019 |url-status=live}} but ultimately opted not to run for Leader. His Deputy Chairmen Cheryl Gillan and Charles Walker oversaw the 2019 leadership contest which resulted in the election of Boris Johnson.

Brady temporarily returned to the 1922 Committee on 3 September 2019, to serve as its acting Chairman "until a new executive is elected in the next session of Parliament".{{cite news |title=Sir Graham Brady to return as chairman of the 1922 Committee |publisher=ITV News |quote=A statement from the committee said he would return as chairman "until a new executive is elected in the next session of Parliament". |date=3 September 2019 |url=https://www.itv.com/news/granada/2019-09-03/sir-graham-brady-to-return-as-chairman-of-the-1922-committee/ |access-date=17 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190904010636/https://www.itv.com/news/granada/2019-09-03/sir-graham-brady-to-return-as-chairman-of-the-1922-committee/ |archive-date=4 September 2019 |url-status=live}} He was subsequently re-elected as the permanent chair on 20 January 2020.{{cite web |url=https://www.conservativehome.com/thetorydiary/2020/01/brady-re-elected-chairman-of-the-1922-committee.html |title=Brady re-elected Chairman of the 1922 Committee |date=20 January 2020 |website=Conservative Home |last=Phibbs |first=Harry |access-date=20 February 2020}}

Brady's role as Chairman of the 1922 has given him a high public profile, as it falls to him to announce the results of each leadership election or challenge, and this is often followed on live TV and streaming around the world.

In 2022, Brady became the longest-ever serving Chairman of the 1922 Committee, surpassing Edward du Cann.

On 29 January 2019, the House of Commons voted 317 to 301 to approve Brady's amendment to the Brexit Next Steps motion,{{cite news |title=Brexit: MPs back May's bid to change deal |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-47050665 |access-date=23 July 2021 |work=BBC News |date=29 January 2019}} which called for "the Northern Ireland backstop to be replaced with alternative arrangements to avoid a hard border, supports leaving the European Union with a deal and would therefore support the Withdrawal Agreement subject to this change".

In May 2020, Brady called for the removal of "arbitrary rules and limitations on freedom" brought in by the government because of the COVID-19 pandemic. He said that the British public had been "a little too willing to stay at home".{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/may/04/uk-unions-criticise-guidance-on-returning-to-work-for-being-inadequate|title=Anger at UK lockdown easing plans 'that could put workers at risk'|first1=Rowena|last1=Mason|first2=Heather|last2=Stewart|date=4 May 2020|work=The Guardian}} Speaking out against a second lockdown, he also spoke about COVID-related mental health issues, such as increased rates of suicide and domestic abuse, as well as excess deaths caused due to reduced access for care.{{cite news |last1=Richardson |first1=Alice |title=Influential Tory MP calls government to 'account for full costs of lockdowns' |url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/influential-northern-conservative-mp-calls-19173598 |access-date=2 December 2020 |work=Manchester Evening News |date=27 October 2020 }} Brady is also a steering committee member of the lockdown-sceptic COVID Recovery Group, a group of Conservative MPs who oppose the UK government's December 2020 lockdown.{{cite news |last1=Hope |first1=Christopher |date=10 November 2020 |title=Tory lockdown rebels unite to form Covid Recovery Group |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/11/10/headache-pm-dozens-conservative-mps-set-covid-recovery-group/ |work=The Daily Telegraph}} The Telegraph reported that the group was seen in Westminster as an "echo" of the Brexiteer European Research Group (ERG) of MPs, and a response by backbench Conservatives to Nigel Farage's anti-lockdown Reform UK party.
