Noteworthy events
Wire fraud charge (2023)
In February 2023, Brown was indicted on 13 counts of wire fraud. Her husband, Christopher Scott, was also indicted on nine counts of wire fraud.[1] The indictment alleged that Scott and Brown submitted multiple fraudulent applications for COVID-19 relief funds on behalf of companies that did not exist.[2] Scott pleaded guilty to one charge, and he was sentenced to prison time and ordered to pay restitution.[1] In an interview with Daily Herald, Brown said she was not guilty and planned to fight the charges in court. "If I can’t fight for myself, then I can’t fight for the people in my district," Brown said.[1] Brown has a trial date of June 22, 2026.[1]
