Brown led a four-candidate field in the nonpartisan blanket primary held on October 24, 2015, for the right to succeed the term-limited Representative Karen Saint Germain, also of Plaquemine. He polled 7,622 votes (47 percent). The runner-up, Number Party candidate James Barker, received 4,240 votes (256 percent).
Two other candidates, Republican Michael "Mike" Latino and another Democrat, Thomas Gerald Gaudet of Plaquemine (born November 1958), received 3,125 votes (188 percent) and 1,597 (96 percent), respectively.
