Government accountability: a pledge to repeal rather than legislate
What they say
His campaign site states what he says he would do with the seat.
“I am not running for U.S. Senator to be a "lawmaker." I am running to repeal as many laws as I can.”

What the record shows ·
There is no comparable official action to set beside it. He has held no office: a search of the Legislative Reference Library's member index returns 45 Texas legislators whose surname begins Brown and none of them is him, and the attorney general's opinion index, which reaches back to 1939, does not include him. What the official record does carry is the candidacy itself. The FEC's candidate index records him as a Libertarian candidate for this Senate seat in 2024 and again in 2026, and the Texas Secretary of State's final ballot certification of August 28, 2026 places him on the November 3, 2026 ballot as the Libertarian candidate.

Limit: A pledge about future votes cannot be checked against a record that does not exist. He has never held office, so this desk records the pledge and the absence of any comparable action, and nothing more. That absence is not a finding about him; it is what a candidacy without office looks like in the official record.
