Paul Aaron Brown (January 15, 1932 – July 3, 1996) was only the second Republican since Reconstruction to have served as mayor of Minden, the seat of government of Webster Parish in northwestern Louisiana. Brown filled an unexpired term from 1989 to 1990 created by the recall of Democratic Mayor Noel Byars. Brown was defeated for a full term on November 6, 1990, by the Democrat Bill Robertson, who became the city's longest-serving mayor in history.
Brown was born in the Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans. He joined the newly established U.S. Air Force when he was seventeen and was assigned to the U.S. Signal Corps in a job involving surveillance. He was stationed for a time in Panama City, Panama. He lived in numerous cities before he came to Minden early in 1987. On discharge from the Air Force, Brown worked for a detective agency in Houston, Texas. In the middle 1960s, he joined the staff of Motorola in Shreveport. He was thereafter transferred to other locations, including Biloxi in Harrison County, Mississippi, where he sold two-way radios.
