The Jefferson County Republican Party has made history by electing Phillip Brown as its first Black Chairman. Brown, a longtime grassroots leader and Republican activist, was elected by acclamation during the Party’s Executive Committee meeting on Tuesday.

Chairman Brown has dedicated years to strengthening the Republican Party in Alabama, working tirelessly to recruit and elect conservative candidates and engage with minority communities. He has served as Chairman of the Alabama Minority GOP for over a decade, as well as a member of the Alabama Republican Party Executive and Steering Committees and the Jefferson County Republican Executive and Steering Committees. A retired high school teacher, Brown is particularly passionate about helping young people achieve the American Dream.

“As Chairman, my top priorities will be working alongside community leaders to address Jefferson County’s challenges, particularly improving public safety, strengthening education for our children, and fostering economic growth,” said Brown. “The Republican Party’s platform provides the solutions our county needs, and I look forward to sharing that message with voters from all walks of life.”

Alabama Republican Party Chairman John Wahl praised Brown’s leadership and commitment to conservative values. “Phillip Brown’s election is a historic moment for the Jefferson County Republican Party, and it is well deserved. He is one of the hardest-working Republican leaders in our state, and I have no doubt he will bring fresh energy and determination to this role. I look forward to working with him as we continue to advance Republican principles in Jefferson County.”

Under Chairman Brown’s leadership, the Jefferson County Republican Party is focused on expanding outreach, strengthening its grassroots network, and promoting the Republican vision for a safer, more prosperous community.
