Rep. Shontel Brown, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Ohio's 11th district, shared several tweets on February 12, 2025, addressing key legislative initiatives and political issues. Brown, who has served in Congress since replacing Marcia Fudge in 2021, also previously served on the Cuyahoga County Council from 2015 to 2021.

In a tweet posted at 22:18 UTC, Rep. Brown expressed her pride in co-leading the PREEMIE Act alongside Rep. Robin Kelly. She stated that this act supports federal research, education, and intervention programs aimed at promoting healthier pregnancies and births.

Later that day at 23:42 UTC, Brown criticized former President Trump and House Republicans for proposing cuts to nutrition benefits to fund tax reductions for wealthy individuals. She highlighted that "1-in-5 households in OH-11 rely on SNAP," emphasizing the negative impact such budget decisions could have on her constituents.

In another post at 23:47 UTC, she addressed concerns about Elon Musk's involvement with the Department of Education. According to Brown, Musk's actions risk compromising personal student loan data and reducing educational funding critical for Northeast Ohio children.
