I sunshined the AG's Office, and they delivered this document which shows Steve Brown's promotion to Deputy Chief Counsel according to a memo from Jay Nixon.
A spokesperson for Stacey Newman's campaign called and reasserted arguments from comments section of the last post (JR's) that the words "Eastern Region" on Brown's business card undermines his claim to have been a Deputy Chief Counsel.

In 64th District, Mike Roberts Jr. has mailed this piece accusing Rep. Rachel Storch of voting against healthcare. 
In truth, she voted against the Republican budgets which cut healthcare funding.
And in the 73rd District, Stacey Newman claims that Steve Brown made up his title of
Deputy Chief Counsel.
Which, again, is not true.
