Anthony Gregory Brown (born November 21, 1961) is an American lawyer and politician serving as the attorney general of Maryland. He also served as the U.S. representative for Maryland's 4th congressional district from 2017 to 2023 and as lieutenant governor of Maryland from 2007 to 2015. He was the Democratic Party's nominee for governor in the 2014 election, losing to Republican Larry Hogan in a close race.
Brown served two four-year terms in the Maryland House of Delegates, representing Prince George's County from 1999 to 2007.[1][2] He was elected to the lieutenant governorship in 2006 on the Democratic ticket with Governor Martin O'Malley; both were re-elected in 2010.[3] He is a retired colonel in the United States Army Reserve, having served in the U.S. Army for over thirty years. While lieutenant governor, Brown was the highest-ranking elected official in the nation to have served a tour of duty in Iraq.[4][5] In 2014, Brown ran unsuccessfully for the governorship, losing to Republican nominee Larry Hogan.[6] In 2016, Brown was elected to the U.S. House. His district covered most of the majority-black precincts in Prince George's County, as well as a sliver of Anne Arundel County.[7]
In October 2021, Brown announced that he would not seek reelection to the U.S. House in 2022 and would instead run for attorney general of Maryland.[8] He won the Democratic primary on July 19, 2022. He defeated Republican lawyer Michael Peroutka in the general election on November 8, 2022, becoming Maryland's first Black attorney general.[9]
