From 1968 to 1988, Charlie served as Youth Coordinator, Mayor's Assistant on Youth Activities, Director of the Youth Services Bureau, Affirmative Action Officer and Risk Manager for the City of Gary. In 1988, Brown became the CEO of the Gary Community Mental Health Center and served until 1993.

In the legislature

First elected to the Indiana House of Representatives in 1982, Brown has been as chairman of the Indiana House Standing Committee on Public Health.
In 2007, Brown sponsored a bill in enacting a new statewide effort to promote improved health care for Hoosiers. Known as the Indiana Checkup Plan, House Enrolled Act 1678 (Public Law 218-2007) provides expanded health insurance availability, improved prenatal care for expectant mothers and a bipartisan effort to encourage establishment of wellness programs among Indiana employers of all sizes. In 2010, Brown announced a partnership he initiated between the Gary Community Health Center and a medicaid dentist. "This is a first that is starting here in Gary, Ind., that we have a private sector entity joining with the public and producing a service that is sorely needed," Brown said. "This goes to show you that Gary can be first in something positive."[1]

Brown also serves on the National Conference of State Legislatures health committee[2] and is a member of the Indiana Black Legislative Caucus.[3]
