According to Ballotpedia, Brown ran for the Gaston County Board of Commissioners representing Riverbend Township in the general election held on November 8, 2022 [2]. The same election listing appears in the Elections summary, which records Chad Brown (R) on the ballot for Riverbend Township on that date [1]. Ballotpedia identifies Brown as the Republican Party candidate for the Riverbend Township seat on the Gaston County Board of Commissioners [2]. The election record confirms that he was officially on the ballot in the 2022 general election for that position [1]. Brown did not complete Ballotpedia\u2019s Candidate Connection survey, as noted in the election summary page [1]. Voters interested in contacting him could use the email address provided on the Ballotpedia page, cbrown031@gmail.com [1]. The email address is listed as a point of contact for the candidate on the same source [1]. No additional biographical details, such as education, professional experience, or prior elected service, are included in the provided sources. The sources contain only the candidate\u2019s name, party affiliation, the office sought, the election date, and the contact email. Consequently, the public record in these sources does not reveal any further personal or career background for Chad Brown. The lack of a completed Candidate Connection survey means that Brown\u2019s policy positions or campaign platform are not documented in the available sources. The Ballotpedia page also includes placeholder images but no portrait of the candidate. In summary, the documented public information about Chad Brown consists of his Republican affiliation, his 2022 candidacy for the Gaston County Board of Commissioners, Riverbend Township, the election date of November 8, 2022, his non\u2011completion of the candidate survey, and a contact email address.\n\n## Sources\n- [2] [Chad Brown (Gaston County Board of Commissioners Riverbend Township, North Carolina, candidate 2022) - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/Chad_Brown_(Gaston_County_Board_of_Commissioners_Riverbend_Township,_North_Carolina,_candidate_2022))","firstname":"Chad","lastname":"Brown","middlename":"Roger","suffix":null,"token":"5b79139fc5bc939c"},"token":"SDrB-IS74zclO-WX"}],"choices":null,"description":null,"district":null,"districtgroup":null,"districtgroupname":null,"districtname":null,"job_type":"county_commissioner","o.office":"county_commission","office":"county_commission","officedescription":"A county commissioner is a member of the county's legislative body.
