Rep. Shontel Brown, a U.S. Congress member representing Ohio's 11th district since 2021, has voiced concerns through her recent tweets about several political actions involving former President Trump and the Republican Party. Brown has been an active participant in legislative efforts aimed at protecting sensitive taxpayer information and supporting educational funding.

On February 15, 2025, Rep. Shontel Brown tweeted about her involvement in sponsoring legislation to protect taxpayer data: "Trump and House Republicans have given Elon Musk unchecked access to government payment systems and taxpayer data. I'm proud to cosponsor the Taxpayer Data Protection Act, to protect the sensitive information of the American public and benefits like Social Security..."

Later that day, she addressed Trump's intentions regarding educational policy: "As Trump plans to eliminate the Department of Education, my friend @repjahanahayes - a former National Teacher of the Year - reminds us why fighting for funding for schools and supporting teachers and students is so important." This statement emphasizes her stance on maintaining support for educational institutions.

In another tweet from February 15, Rep. Brown highlighted healthcare issues related to proposed tax cuts: "There are over 290,000 people in OH-11 on Medicaid. Trump and Republicans in Congress are asking them to pay for tax cuts for Trump's billionaire buddies. Beyond wrong. House Democrats are going to fight this." Her remarks indicate a commitment to opposing policies perceived as harmful to Medicaid recipients.
