Ben Brown is a Businessman and Restaurateur who rose to local prominence by actively opposing overreaching restrictions and shutdown of local businesses in St. Louis County.

Brown has been actively involved in republican politics as the Chairman of Franklin County Republican Central Committee, the Missouri National Committeeman for the Young Republican National Federation, and GOP Vice-chair 26th Senatorial District. As a small-business owner Ben Brown has seen first-hand how out-of-control government regulations can kill our small businesses and destroy our local economy.

He believes the primary role of government is to secure the rights of its people. His agenda centers upon restoring government to its intended role as well as advancing the principles of individual rights, limited government and free markets. Brown believes one of the top areas of concern right now is reforming emergency powers granted to local governments to ensure that religious freedom, parental rights, ability to safely conduct business, freedom to assemble and other constitutionally guaranteed rights are never infringed upon. Brown would also look to create safeguards to prevent the unconstitutional infringement of rights at the Federal level.

Brown lives in Washington, Missouri with his family where they have been actively involved in the local community for years. Brown is a member of the Missouri Restaurant Association, the NRA, and actively involved in the Regional Chamber of Commerce.
