Brown then received his bachelor's degree Western Michigan University and his law degree from University of Michigan Law School. He practiced law. From 1957 to 1988, Brown served in the Michigan State Senate and was a Democrat.

Brown resigned from the Michigan Senate in 1988 when he was arrested on drug-related charges. The Michigan Supreme Court later reversed the drug-related conviction due to entrapment concerns and the charges were later dropped.[1][2]

Brown died as a result of a fire at his home in Highland Park, Michigan and was treated for cancer.[3][4]
