Don Brown is an insurance agent from DeFuniak Springs, Florida. He has served on the Walton County Commission, as Republican State Committeeman, Chairman of the Walton County Republican Executive Committee and as a State Representative in the Florida House.
Don is a veteran of numerous campaigns and served as a County Chairman for Governor Jeb Bush and President George Bush.
Don Brown is best known for his work on insurance issues. In the back-to-back years of 2002 and 2003 he was recognized by both the Florida Association of Insurance Agents and the Florida Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors for his significant contribution to insurance reform. Most notably, in 2007 Don was one of only two legislators to vote “No” on HB1A which significantly expanded the role of government into private markets. Since 2007, many of his objections to HB1A have proven to be correct.
Don Brown was known for being well prepared and for standing his ground during his tenure in the Florida House of Representatives. He was most vocal when advocating for smaller government, less taxes, the Free Enterprise System and Market Based Solutions. He was widely regarded as one of the top orators in the House.
In 2004 he was recognized by the Emerald Coast Association of Realtors for his work on real estate issues. He was also recognized in 2004 by the Florida Pharmacy Association as their Most Outstanding Legislator. In 2005 the Florida Retail Federation named him the “House Legislator of the Year” and in 2006 the Florida Chamber of Commerce named him “Most Valuable Legislator” after the passage of his HB73 which repealed the doctrine of Joint and Several Liability.
Don Brown has been a successful insurance agent serving his customers in North Florida for over 25 years. Since leaving the Florida House of Representatives in 2008, due to term limits, Don has established himself as an authoritative voice in Florida’s insurance debate.
Don offers his political knowledge and legislative prowess as a government affairs consultant. Don’s experience in Tallahassee and his command of the issues makes him a highly sought agent, counselor, and speaker.

What People Say About Don Brown…
I have known Don Brown for many years and I personally consider Don to be one of our state’s greatest authorities on insurance matters. I believe Don has a message that all Floridians should give lots of consideration to in regard to the present state of Florida’s insurance industry.”
Lindsay M. Harrington

In my term in the Florida Legislature, two of the best speakers were Marco Rubio and Don Brown. While we served together, Rep. Brown was the walking encyclopedia on property and casualty insurance.”
Fred Brummer, CPA
Former State Representative

Don Brown has the integrity, knowledge, and fortitude to passionately advocate market based solutions for many of Governments’ problems. Having served with him for eight years in the Florida Legislature, I consider him a friend and mentor. He gets it!”
Congressman Dennis A. Ross, Florida-12
Don’s presentation is eye opening and what he shares unveils a unique truth better than anyone I have heard speak on the subject. I want to say without question that Don Brown’s understanding of the dynamics of the Florida insurance marketplace go way beyond the norm. He has done his homework in such a way that anyone can connect with this complicated issue once given an opportunity to hear his presentation of the facts put in simplistic terms.”
