He was on the town council for Georgetown, Delaware from 2008 to 2010 and Mayor from 2010 to 2012. In 2012, Pettyjohn began a write-in campaign for Delaware Senate after incumbent Joseph W. Booth was defeated by Eric Bodenweiser in the Republican primary and Bodenweiser was subsequently indicted by a Sussex County, Delaware Grand Jury for unlawful sexual acts with a minor.[2] When Bodenweiser filed the necessary paperwork to officially withdraw, Pettyjohn and the Republican Party petitioned the Delaware Department of Elections to replace Bodenweiser's name on the ballot with Pettyjohn's. The Department of Elections refused, and the Delaware Republican Party brought legal action against the department. After favorable rulings by the Delaware Court of Chancery and Delaware Supreme Court, Pettyjohn was placed on the November ballot.[3] He won the election with slightly less than 60 percent of the vote.[4] Pettyjohn was unopposed for reelection in the 2016 primary and general elections.[5][6] In June 2017, Pettyjohn was charged with a felony for having a firearm on an airplane after a loaded handgun was found in his carry-on luggage at Salisbury Regional Airport by TSA agents.[7][8] He did not have a concealed carry license for Maryland, although at the time he did have a valid Delaware concealed carry license.[8][9] He stated he accidentally forget the firearm was in his laptop bag, and could have faced up to 10 years in jail for the offense.[10] However, he avoided a criminal conviction and jail time after being sentenced to 18 months of probation before judgement.[11] He was also required to turn over his handgun as part of his plea bargain.[12] Pettyjohn has frequently spoken out against and opposed gun control laws.[13] In 2018, Pettyjohn reversed his earlier support for the Delaware Equal Rights Amendment and was one of five Republican senators to vote against it.[14] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://legis.delaware.gov/AssemblyMember/150/Pettyjohn|title=Senator Brian Pettyjohn (R)|publisher=Delaware General Assembly|location=Dover, Delaware|website=legis.delaware.gov|accessdate=January 22, 2019}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.washingtonblade.com/2012/10/30/del-gop-candidate-indicted-on-sex-with-minor-charges/ |title=Del.
