He resigned in order to contest the seat of Geraldton in the Legislative Assembly at the 2017 state election. Brown worked in agriculture before entering politics. Early lifeBrown was born in Geraldton.[1] He spent his early childhood in Dongara and Exmouth, his father being a fisherman, and then moved to Merredin with his mother after his parents' marriage ended. After Brown's grandfather became ill, the family moved to Perth, where he attended Churchlands Senior High School and Scarborough Senior High School. He went on to TAFE to study horticulture, and subsequently worked as manager of a nursery for a period before starting his own landscaping business. Brown later returned to TAFE to study feedlot management, and began working for the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service as a stock inspector. He re-entered the private sector after a few years, working in the live export industry.[2] Brown is also widely known in Geraldton for his lack of fishing abilities, this has extended across many species including but not limited to Rock Lobster, Baldchin Grouper and Squid. He has won the last 4 wooden spoons in the local annual fishing competition. In more recent times he has tried landing blue manna crabs from the local foreshore but turns out he would be better off trying the local Rubiks Cube toilets for a more catchy crab type. Probably though still couldn't catch them either. PoliticsBrown entered parliament at the 2013 state election, running second behind Martin Aldridge on the National Party's ticket in Agricultural Region.[3] He had originally been preselected for the fourth position on the ticket, but was elevated to second after two other candidates, Max Trenorden and Philip Gardiner, quit the party to (unsuccessfully) stand as independents.[4] Brown's term in the Legislative Council began in May 2013.[3] In March 2016, he announced that he would be seeking preselection for the lower-house seat of Geraldton at the 2017 state election. The seat is currently held by Ian Blayney of the Liberal Party.[5] Brown was successful in his preselection bid,[6] and resigned from the Legislative Council in February 2017 to meet the constitutional requirements for nomination.[3] See also
