Don Brown Enters 2026 North Carolina Senate Race with Firebrand Message for MAGA Voters: “I’m One of You—Tillis Is Not”
A new firestorm is igniting in North Carolina politics as Don Brown, a nationally recognized conservative attorney, best-selling author, and former U.S. Navy JAG officer, officially launches his campaign to unseat Sen. Thom Tillis in the 2026 GOP primary.
Framing his campaign as a mission to dismantle the D.C. uniparty establishment, Brown has quickly emerged as a bold voice for the America First movement—and he’s naming names.
“Thom Tillis helped block Ed Martin because he stood up for J6 patriots,” Brown declared. “That’s exactly why we need new leadership in North Carolina—someone who won’t fold under pressure and won’t sell out the grassroots to curry favor with the elites.”
Targeting Tillis: The Battle for North Carolina’s Republican Soul
In a viral campaign video released this week, Brown skewered Sen. Tillis over his lack of support for peaceful January 6th protesters, his silence on DOJ double standards, and what Brown calls a complete abandonment of constitutional conservatism.
“Tillis has never once called out Merrick Garland. He never raised a word about federal agents inside the Capitol,” Brown said. “He’s no longer representing North Carolina. He’s representing D.C.”
Credentials Forged in Combat—and the Courtroom
Don Brown’s resume is a blueprint of conservative, constitutional activism:
-
Former Navy JAG officer who served at the Pentagon
-
Special Assistant U.S. Attorney
-
National best-selling author of 16 books, including Call Sign Extortion 17, which exposed the Obama-era cover-up of a deadly Afghanistan helicopter crash involving SEAL Team Six
-
Legal counsel to J6 Patriots, military whistleblowers, and COVID mandate victims
-
Recipient of two Trump-issued presidential pardons for wrongly targeted clients
Brown’s campaign makes no apologies for its alignment with President Trump, declaring him the only modern leader who “set the freedom torch ablaze.”
Grassroots over Big Donors
Brown emphasized his populist approach in his call to supporters:
“I’d rather have a million patriots give $5 than a few donors give a million. This isn’t about cash. It’s about the Constitution.”
Through his campaign site, brownfournc.com, Brown is mobilizing a team of grassroots volunteers to spread his message and counter the GOP’s corporate donor class.
A Fighter on Four National Fronts
Brown brings a multi-front war record against leftist tyranny:
-
Exposed deadly Rules of Engagement that endangered U.S. troops overseas.
-
Challenged the 2020 election fraud, working with three legal teams post-election.
-
Fought federal COVID mandates, filing suit on behalf of nearly 80 Americans.
-
Defended January 6th defendants, helping restore rights and reputations.
His public advocacy has earned him spots on Fox News, OANN, Real America’s Voice, and major conservative platforms from the Reagan Library to The Federalist.
A Shot Across the Bow
Brown’s candidacy represents a direct challenge to the Mitch McConnell-wing of the Republican Party, aiming to restore true conservatism in North Carolina.
“This burning torch of freedom is not going out. We’re going to carry it forward—and we’re going to win,” he declared.
With the 2026 GOP primary already drawing national attention, one thing is clear: Don Brown is not just running for Senate. He’s running straight through the gates of the establishment—and he’s not slowing down.
