Representative Shontel Brown, serving Ohio's 11th district in the U.S. Congress, recently shared a series of tweets addressing both an inspiring event and significant policy concerns. Brown succeeded Marcia Fudge in 2021 and has been actively involved in legislative matters since her tenure began.

On March 19, 2025, Rep. Brown extended a warm welcome to NASA astronaut Sunita Williams upon her return to Earth. She expressed admiration for Williams' commitment to her mission and conveyed gratitude for making Northeast Ohio proud. "Welcome back to Earth to NASA astronaut Sunita Williams of Euclid Ohio."

Later that day, Rep. Brown commented on former President Trump's repeal of LBJ’s 1965 Equal Employment Opportunity Order, highlighting the implications it holds for governmental contractors and segregation policies. "Unbelievable."

In another tweet on the same day, she emphasized her determination not to regress into past eras marked by discrimination. Rep. Brown announced a collaborative bill with Representative Jamie Raskin aimed at reinstating antidiscrimination measures originally established by LBJ's order. "I won’t let Trump take us back to an era of hatred, bigotry, and segregation."
