Megan served as a spokeswoman for the governor, helping to implement communications and planning to advance Granholm’s economic plan. Brown’s key areas of expertise include economic development, education, renewable energy and transportation.
Megan was the governor’s media liaison on her jobs investment mission to the Middle East and at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colo.

Besides being a political junkie, Brown loves running, traveling, Mexican food, cereal and her hometown, Traverse City.
