Elected MP for Calgary Southeast along with 51 other Reform Party candidates in the 1993 federal election, Brown drew admiration in 1994 when she placed a rose on the empty desk of rival Bloc Québécois and official opposition leader Lucien Bouchard who was fighting for his life as a result of necrotizing fasciitis. Considered a moderate, she openly spoke out against the right wing of Reform, behaviour which, in May 1996, led her to being suspended from the party along with two controversial members of that right wing. Sitting as an independent for the remainder of the 35th Parliament, she ran as the Progressive Conservative candidate in Calgary Southwest in the 1997 general election against her former leader, Preston Manning, finishing a distant third. |
