Brown’s resume includes time as the U.S. Attorney for Western Washington, general counsel for Gov. Inslee’s office, a judge advocate general for the U.S. Army and a partner in a Seattle law group. His law degree is from Harvard Law School. Brown earned a Bronze Star during his service in Iraq in 2005.
