According to Yahoo News, in February 2022, Brown stated in an interview, “Too many members of the Senate trade in stocks, and their spouses too.”

He went on to say, “I don’t accuse anybody individually of a conflict of interest and in betraying the public interest. But the temptation — if you own shares of stock, everything looks like a conflict of interest because we vote on everything in the Senate. We vote on banking rules. We vote on environmental rules. We vote on labor rules. We vote on minimum wages sometimes, so there are all kinds of conflicts.”
