Shontel Brown, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Ohio's 11th district, has recently shared her concerns and criticisms on social media regarding various political issues. Brown, who succeeded Marcia Fudge in 2021, is known for her active engagement with constituents through platforms like Twitter.
On March 6, 2025, Brown expressed her apprehension about potential plans by Donald Trump and Elon Musk to take over and privatize the United States Postal Service (USPS). She warned that such actions could jeopardize mail service and potentially endanger absentee and mail-in voting nationwide. "Trump and Elon want to takeover the USPS and then privatize it. In addition to jeopardizing mail service, putting these guys in charge of YOUR mail could endanger absentee and mail-in voting nationwide."
Later that day, Brown addressed Governor DeWine's new work requirements for Medicaid in another tweet. She urged him to reconsider these changes due to their potential impact on healthcare coverage for thousands of people. "Last week, I wrote to Governor DeWine urging him to reconsider new work requirements for Medicaid - and this is exactly why. Thousands of people will lose coverage."
On March 7, 2025, Brown commented on a Reuters story regarding Trump's involvement in a cryptocurrency scheme. She highlighted skepticism around the benefits of such a reserve for taxpayers while criticizing Trump's intentions to cut essential services like Medicaid and SNAP. "Brutal line from this Reuters story on Trump's crypto scam: 'It is not clear how such a reserve would work or how it would benefit taxpayers.' Meanwhile, he wants to fire VA nurses and cut Medicaid and SNAP."
