James D. Brosnahan was born July 5, 1962, in Evergreen Park, Illinois. An attorney, he earned his B.A. at Loyola University of Chicago and his J.D., Loyola University of Chicago Law School[1]

In the 1996 general election, Brosnahan, of Evergreen Park, defeated Republican incumbent Maureen Murphy to represent the 36th district as part of a Democratic wave in the south suburbs that flipped partisan control of the Illinois House of Representatives.[2]

During the 96th Illinois General Assembly, Brosnahan resigned effective February, 11, 2010. The 36th Representative District Committee of the Democratic Party appointed Michael J. Carberry to fill the vacancy. Carberry was sworn into office on March 14, 2010.[3]
