He served as prosecuting attorney of Jackson County from 1876 to 1880. Broderick was elected to two terms in the Kansas Senate, serving from 1880 to 1884.

On March 18, 1884, Brocerick was nominated by President Chester A. Arthur to be Associate Justice of the Idaho Territorial Supreme Court, and he was confirmed by the senate six days later,[5] and he moved to Boise, Idaho Territory. After his four year term had expired, he served until his successor arrived on August 10, 1888, and several days later, he returned to Holton, Kansas, and resumed the practice of law.[6]

Broderick was elected as a Republican to the fifty-second and three succeeding congresses, serving from March 4, 1891 to March 3, 1899. He was an unsuccessful candidate for renomination in 1898.
