He represented the electoral district of Halifax Eastern Shore as a Liberal. Brown was an athlete in his youth, and was signed by the Brooklyn Dodgers, playing in their farm system for two years.[3] In the 1950s, Brown and his father founded Atlantic Canada's largest food brokerage, A.G. Brown and Sons Ltd.[4] He was also co-founder of Halifax Cablevision, and a founder and director of Dartmouth Cable Television.[5] First elected in a by-election on July 8, 1969,[6] Brown was re-elected in 1970[7] and 1974.[8] He served until he was defeated in the 1978 general election.[9] Brown served in the Executive Council of Nova Scotia for Premier Gerald Regan. His cabinet duties included Highways (1970–1972), Public Works (1970–1971), Recreation (1973–1978), and the Residential Tenancies Act (1972–1975). In 2001, Brown was awarded a Doctorate of Commerce (honoris causa) by Saint Mary's University.[10] Brown died on January 7, 2010.[3] References1. ^{{cite web |title =Nova Scotia Government Hansard |url=http://nslegislature.ca/index.php/proceedings/hansard/C50/59_1_house_05may19/|date=May 19, 2005 |accessdate=June 19, 2014}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Brown, Alexander Garnet}}2. ^{{cite web |last=Jackson |first=David |title=Former Liberal MLA Garnet Brown dead at 79 |publisher=The Chronicle Herald |date=January 7, 2010 |url=http://thechronicleherald.ca/Front/9014733.html |accessdate=January 7, 2010| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20100111095934/http://thechronicleherald.ca/Front/9014733.html| archivedate= 11 January 2010 | deadurl= no}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|title=Obituary: BROWN - A.
