Richard Brown is an American attorney and politician who has served as a state representative for the 5th district of the Ohio House of Representatives since 2017.
When former Rep. Heather Bishoff left the General Assembly in the summer of 2017, Brown opted to seek the appointment to replace her. Bishoff resigned from the 20th House District abruptly in April of that year, saying she planned to move to California to focus on the financial services business she started with her husband.[1]
Brown was among nine candidates eventually interviewed to replace her by House Democrats, who had the authority to appoint a replacement. Ultimately, he was selected, and seated on June 28, 2017. On November 6, 2018, Brown was reelected to a full two-year term, winning 59% of the vote over Republican candidate Bobby Mitchell.
