Having received 1,512 votes [2] and coming second on the Civic Platform and Law and Justice (POPiS) list behind Maciej Świątkowski,Brejza was not initially elected. Only after Świątkowski was elected to the Sejm of the Republic of Poland (the lower house of the Polish parliament) in the 2005 parliamentary elections did Brejza take over his seat in the Regional Assembly. He served only one year,until the end of his term.

In December 2021,the news emerged that Senator Brejza was under surveillance according to the Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto. The surveillance took place during the 2019 Polish parliamentary election campaign and involved the use of Pegasus spyware,which the Polish government-controlled secret service is unofficially in possession of. Brejza was head of the Civic Coalition election campaign at the time and it is alleged that the spying could have affected the results of the elections won by the conservative Law and Justice party leading to calls for setting up an investigation committee into the case. [7] In January 2022,the Polish Senate passed a resolution to establish a special committee to investigate this matter. [8]
