Brown is a 6th generation Kansan, born and raised in the Kansas City metro area.
[citation needed] He graduated from Shawnee Mission Northwest High School as part of the class of 1987 and attended Johnson County Community College and Kansas State University.
Brown has worked in construction since high school, opening his own home building firm in 1990 becoming the largest volume builder in the KC Metro by 1998 and served as the 2007 President of the Homebuilders’ Association of Greater Kansas City.
This came on the heels of a reprimand by the Johnson County Commission for Brown's "drums of war" tweet.
"[citation needed] Brown's campaign was based on “Election Integrity First” [6] and lost with 44.76% to Schwab's 55.24%.
[9] Since becoming chairman, Brown claims the KSGOP has set fundraising records and is responsible for landslide Republican wins across Kansas in 2023 and 2024.
[12] Soon after that controversy died down, the Johnson County Republican Party hosted an event where an effigy of President Biden was kicked and beaten repeatedly.
