Election history
Charlottesville City Council
Brown ran for City Council twice, successfully, as a Democrat. He announced in the spring of 2011 that he would not seek a third term. [6]
After Frank Buck held the position of mayor for four consecutive terms (1980-1988), councilors serviced only a single two-year term as mayor. That was broken when Brown became mayor for a second term. [7]
2007 election
Brown announced his candidacy for a second term on April 25, 2007. [8]
Later that spring, he became one of three Democrats nominated at a caucus. [9]
