Rep. Shontel Brown, serving in the U.S. Congress for Ohio’s 11th district, is actively addressing multiple pressing issues through her social media presence. Brown, who succeeded Marcia Fudge in 2021 and serves her district after an extensive tenure on the Cuyahoga County Council, voiced her concerns and upcoming activities on April 15, 2025.

On April 15, 2025, Rep. Shontel Brown criticized former President Donald Trump's administrative decisions regarding discriminatory employment practices. Brown pointed out that "In January, Trump rescinded the Equal Employment Opportunity order that prohibits discrimination by fed contractors. Now Trump plans to eliminate 90% of the staff at the DOL agency that enforces anti-discrimination laws." Brown also highlighted the collaborative effort with Patty Murray to reverse this decision through a formal letter.

Rep. Brown announced on the same day the upcoming OH-11 Small Business Expo, scheduled for May 3, 2025. She accentuated the event's educational opportunities by stating, "Our OH-11 Small Business Expo on May 3 will also feature breakout sessions on key topics, including a session on Creating a Stellar Business Plan led by Melina Higbee." Brown encouraged individuals to register for the expo by sharing a registration link.

Later that day, Rep. Brown addressed an international legal matter, emphasizing the need for governmental accountability. She remarked on the situation involving Kilmar Abrego Garcia, stressing that "The US must bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home. He was wrongfully sent to a foreign prison and now Trump is openly defying the courts which have ordered him returned." Brown criticized the silence of Republican leaders who profess a belief in law and order.

Shontel Brown has served in the U.S. Congress, representing Ohio’s 11th District, since 2021. She previously served in the Cuyahoga County Council from 2015 to 2021.
