A retired insurance claims adjuster who set the Libertarian record for a Texas U.S. Senate campaign, pulling more than 267,000 votes in 2024.
Brown, 65, is a retired insurance claims adjuster and small-government activist who lives in Austin's Wells Branch neighborhood. He graduated from UCLA in 1984 with a degree in political science. In 2024 he won more than 267,000 votes for U.S. Senate, a record for a Libertarian candidate in Texas, and he's running again in 2026 against Ken Paxton and James Talarico.
Brown’s take on Texas values
As the Libertarian nominee, Brown says he opposes raising the minimum wage, opposes requiring overtime pay for salaried workers, and believes labor unions hurt rather than help the economy; he also supports lowering corporate taxes rather than raising them. This fits his broader platform of cutting taxes, cutting spending, and shrinking government's role in the economy.
