Democrat Shaun Brown of Virginia is running for Congress in the 2nd congressional district. Her campaign faces tough competition from Republicans, but she has a bigger issue to address first after being charged with fraud, embezzlement, and theft through her “charity” of money intended to support the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Summer Food Service Program.
If the allegations are true, she stole money intended to feed needy children and faces up to 20 years in prison.
Brown is denying the claims and intends to continue running for Congress.
Not to be outdone by charges against her, she and her mother have filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Virginia Department of Health. She claims the departments delayed payments over racial discrimination against them as black Americans.

Former congressional candidate Shaun Brown indicted on wire fraud and theft of government property charges
A former congressional candidate has been indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly stealing from the United States Department of Agriculture’s Summer Food Service Program.
Shaun Brown, 58, a Democrat who ran against Rep. Scott Taylor in Virginia’s 2nd congressional district in 2016, was indicted Wednesday on charges of wire fraud and theft of government property, according to a new release from the U.S. Department of Justice.
Brown worked for JOBS Community Outreach Development Corporation, a nonprofit registered in Virginia. In 2011 and 2012, JOBS sponsored a federally-funded program aimed at feeding food-insecure children after free and reduced lunch programs ended for summer vacation.
Brown was in charge of running the program under JOBS. In 2012, Brown and other people submitted “fraudulent claims” for reimbursement, according to the release.
