Rep. Shontel Brown, a U.S. Congress member representing Ohio's 11th district since 2021, recently shared her views on various issues through a series of tweets. Brown, who succeeded Marcia Fudge and previously served on the Cuyahoga County Council from 2015 to 2021, addressed public service recognition, funding for community safety programs, and current economic priorities.
On May 7, 2025, Rep. Shontel Brown extended her appreciation to civil servants during #PublicServiceRecognitionWeek. She criticized the "ongoing attacks on federal workers" and expressed her commitment as a member of the Labor Caucus to continue advocating for these employees.
The following day, May 8, she announced that she had written to President Trump urging him to restore funding for the Cleveland Peacemakers Alliance. She emphasized that public safety and violence prevention programs should not be subject to political gamesmanship.
Later that same day, Brown commented on the state of the economy in another tweet. She noted rising prices and potential cuts to Medicaid and SNAP while criticizing House Republicans for focusing on renaming geographical features instead of addressing pressing economic issues. She referred to this as "What a joke."
Born in Cleveland in 1975 and currently residing in Warrensville Heights, Shontel Brown holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Wilberforce University.
