Political career{{Further|List of Utah State Legislatures}}Bramble was elected to the Utah Senate in 2000 and took office in January 2001. He initially served on the Business, Labor and Economic Development, and Revenue and Taxation Standing Committees; and on the Health and Human Services Joint Appropriation Committee. In 2004, Bramble became the Majority Leader of the Utah Senate for the 57th Utah Legislature and the Co-Chair of the Retirement and Independent Entities Joint Appropriation Committee. He also served on the Executive Offices and Criminal Justice, and Higher Education Joint Appropriations committees and Chaired the Retirement and Independent Entities Standing Committee. He also served on the Revenue and Taxation Committee for the 57th Utah State Legislature.

In 2008 Bramble received the National Legislator of the Year Award from the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and he has served on the Board of Directors of ALEC.[4] Bramble served as president of the National Conference of State Legislatures from 2015-16.[5] ElectionSenator Bramble is currently up for reelection and has two challengers in the primary.[6] Legislation2016 sponsored bills
Notable legislationIn 2014, Bramble sponsored S.B. 54 Second Substitute Elections Amendments.[8] The enacted bill allows for an optional open primary.[9] During the 2016 legislative session Senator Bramble passed a bill that would require doctors to give anesthesia to fetuses during an abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy.[10] Float building controversyThe Deseret Morning News and Salt Lake Tribune called for an ethics investigation into an incident involving Bramble, Representative Becky Lockhart and Mountainland Technical College (known at time as the Mountainland Applied Technology College). Allegedly Bramble and Lockhart asked the college to build the Republican party a float to use in parades. The college used its money to pay for the float which, the papers alleged, violated Utah law, e.g., that "a public entity may not make expenditures from public funds for political purposes." When questions arose, college President Clay Christensen told State Auditor Auston Johnson he was under "tremendous pressure" by the Utah County GOP and lawmakers to build the float, but later that same day, after a conversation with Bramble, he changed his statement. Bramble first denied speaking with Christiansen but later acknowledged he "may have called," but couldn't "recall what was said."[11] No investigation ensued. Electoral resultsSenator Bramble is up for election in 2016 and currently has two challengers in the primary.[12]{{Further|16th Utah Senate District}} {{Election box begin | title=Utah State Senate election, 2008 }}{{Election box candidate with party link|party = Republican Party (US) |candidate = Curt Bramble |votes = 11,717 |percentage = 62 |change = }}{{Election box candidate with party link |party = Democratic Party (US) |candidate = RaDene Hatfield |votes = 7,314 |percentage = 38 |change = }}{{Election box end}}{{Election box begin | title=Utah State Senate election, 2004 }}{{Election box candidate with party link |party = Republican Party (US) |candidate = Curt Bramble |votes = 15,778 |percentage = 77 |change = }}{{Election box candidate with party link |party = Democratic Party (US) |candidate = Fred D.
