Political positions

In January 2021, shortly before a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, Brown announced legislation to decertify Joe Biden's victory in New Mexico by removing the state's five electoral votes he won. In a statement, Brown made baseless claims of election fraud, alleging fraud occurred in New Mexico and in other states.^[9] She claimed the final vote tallies had been "manipulated" but offered no evidence.^[9]
