Concordia, MO – Michael Brown, a dedicated community leader, announced his bid for a second term as Lafayette County Southern Commissioner. With a strong background in education and public service, Brown is committed to fostering growth and ensuring responsible government in Lafayette County.
“Our community needs proven leadership that will prioritize fiscal responsibility and transparency in local government,” stated Brown. “I will bring commonsense conservative principles to our county commission.”
Brown was appointed to the county commission by Governor Mike Kehoe to fill a vacancy and has a proven track record of leadership as the Mayor of Concordia from 2016 to 2025.

“A wise society invests in its future. Our future is our community’s children. We must ensure they have the best education opportunities—both for K-12 and post-graduation day. We must equip the next generation for the workforce so they can live prosperous lives. Likewise, we must continue to keep our neighborhoods and main streets safe. When law and order is established, families and businesses thrive.”
