Shontel Brown, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Ohio's 11th district, has recently shared her views on proposed budget cuts by Republicans. In a series of tweets, she voiced her concerns about the potential impacts these cuts could have on healthcare and social services.

On February 19, 2025, Brown tweeted about Republican plans for significant reductions in Medicaid funding. She expressed concern that such measures would jeopardize the healthcare of many Ohio residents. Brown described this initiative as the "Make America Sicker and Poorer Agenda."

Later that day, she criticized the Trump-House Republican budget proposal in another tweet dated February 19, 2025. According to Brown, this budget includes substantial reductions to Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, Head Start, and food assistance programs while providing tax cuts for wealthy individuals. She argued that former President Trump is not alleviating costs for working people but instead "raising them."

On February 20, 2025, Brown invited her constituents to join her at an upcoming town hall meeting via Twitter. The event was scheduled for that evening and was available for live viewing on her YouTube channel. She shared details about the event in her tweet: "I’m looking forward to tonight's OH-11 Town Hall at 6:30 PM!"
