Ben Brown

Overview

Ben Brown is identified by KMBC as a Missouri Senate signer from District 26 of the September 9, 2026 letter concerning the Denny Hoskins contempt proceeding.

September 2026 letter

The letter said that, if Hoskins were held in contempt, its signers would petition legislative leadership to begin impeachment proceedings against responsible members of the Supreme Court of Missouri. The signers framed their position as an objection to contempt proceedings amid competing federal and state orders.

Court context

The Supreme Court of Missouri later found Hoskins had been in contempt of its September 3 injunction, while also finding that he purged the contempt after correcting his directive.
