About me
Lisa Brown came to Spokane in her twenties, having grown up in rural Illinois, studied at the University of Illinois, and attained a Ph.D in economics at the University of Colorado. She taught at Eastern and Gonzaga, and served in the state legislature for 20 years, including as Senate Majority Leader. Lisa has been Chancellor at WSU Spokane and director of the Department of Commerce, but she saved the best for last - Mayor of Spokane! She loves to hike and bike with husband Brian, listen to her talented son, Lucas Brookbank Brown, perform, and spend any time she can get with her grandson, Blaze.
