Jordan Brown is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island in the 2015 provincial election.[1] He represents the electoral district of Charlottetown-Brighton as a member of the Liberal Party.
Brown studied business and economics at the University of Prince Edward Island, before attending law school at the University of New Brunswick. He was called to the bar in 2005, and practised law in Charlottetown. He is married to Amy Boswall, and has two children.[2]
His election was notable in that he defeated Rob Lantz, the leader of the opposing Progressive Conservative Party, by 22 votes, and thus denied him a seat in the legislature.[1] This ultimately lead to Lantz's resigning the party leadership.[3]
He currently serves on the legislature's standing committees on public accounts and education and economic development.[2]
