As a legislator, Grantham has been active in sponsoring and supporting various bills. In 2018, he sponsored a proposed state constitutional amendment which would have allowed the legislature to place candidates for the US Senate on the ballot. He also opposed the extension of a sales tax used to support education, arguing that the bill did not address key issues related to school funding.
