Shontel Brown, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Ohio's 11th district, shared her thoughts on various issues through a series of tweets in January 2025. Brown has been serving in Congress since 2021, succeeding Marcia Fudge. She previously served on the Cuyahoga County Council and holds a degree from Wilberforce University.
On January 21, 2025, Rep. Shontel Brown tweeted about the commencement of a new Congress session and expressed her commitment to continue advocating for Ohio's 11th district. "With a new Congress comes a new official portrait. I’m ready to keep fighting for OH-11!"
The following day, January 22, 2025, she commented on presidential actions affecting prescription drug prices. She noted contrasting approaches by different administrations regarding this issue: "One President fought to lower your prescription drug prices, another took action to raise them - on his FIRST DAY."
Later that day, she criticized actions taken by former President Donald Trump that she believes negatively impact fairness and opportunities for Black Americans and communities like Northeast Ohio: "President Trump's actions today make America less fair, limit opportunity for Black Americans, and are a blueprint for divesting in diverse places like NE Ohio."
