He was legal adviser to the Michigan State Labor Department in 1912 and 1913; assistant corporation counsel for the city of Detroit 1915-1920; member of the Michigan State Senate from the 2nd District in 1919 and 1920.

Brennan was elected as a Republican to the United States House of Representatives from Michigan's 13th congressional district for the 67th Congress, serving from March 4, 1921, to March 3, 1923. He was not a candidate for reelection in 1922. Brennan introduced a bill in 1922, the first that proposed to allow radio coverage of U.S. House of Representatives proceedings. The bill failed, and the idea was not revived until the 1940s.
