Chris Brown — Missouri House District 16
Chris Brown, candidate for Missouri House District 16
Chris Brown is running for Missouri House District 16 because Northland families need a proven, principled voice in Jefferson City. A retired public school educator who spent 32 years teaching U.S. History and AP Government while coaching football and wrestling, Brown now serves as Chair of the House Committee on Higher Education and Workforce Development.
Married to his wife Angela, with two children, Nicholas and Ashley, Brown has represented the Northland since 2021, earning a reputation for leading “with integrity” and fighting relentlessly for the values of Clay County families.
Affordability is at the center of Brown’s agenda. He continues to push for responsible economic development and government spending accountability that keeps taxes low and puts money back in the pockets of hardworking Northland families, so the cost of living doesn’t outpace their paychecks.
Brown’s priorities also include:
Quality public education
Support for law enforcement and first responders
Safe, responsible economic development
Government spending accountability
Brown is endorsed by the Missouri Fraternal Order of Police (statewide) and FOP Lodge 99, the International Association of Fire Fighters, and Missouri’s statewide teacher associations, a broad coalition that reflects his record of putting Northland families first.
