Brunner followed in a family tradition by standing for election for the Liberal Party: in Hulme in 1924, Chippenham in 1929, and Northwich in 1945, but was never elected to Parliament. He was elected to Henley Rural District Council, and served as its chairman from 1954 to 1957. 1962-3, he was also President of the Liberal Party.

Brunner was also a supporter of the Open Spaces Society, chairing it from 1958 to 1970.
