After leaving the University of Missouri,Brown pursued a career in mixed martial arts. In 2013,he founded Satchmo's Bar &Grill in Chesterfield,Missouri. He was also a member of the Young Republicans for Missouri and chaired the Franklin County Republican Central Committee. [2] From 2021 to 2021,Brown hosted a radio show on WVFT. Brown was elected to the Missouri Senate in November 2022. [3] [4]
In 2025,Brown proposed two bills related to state revenue. One would change state income tax to a flat tax and the other is a constitutional amendment that would expand eligibility for sales taxes. This is seen as a part of a wider plan to eliminate income tax,which has already seen reductions in Missouri. Lawmakers expressed concerns over the impact of increased sales tax,which would be necessary to cover lost revenue from income taxes,on their constituents,particularly for repealed exemptions on labor or farming necessities.
