Rep. Shontel Brown, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Ohio’s 11th district, has shared her views on recent legislative developments and community events through a series of tweets. Her statements reflect her ongoing engagement with both national policy issues and local community initiatives.
On June 4, 2025, Rep. Brown criticized House Republicans for passing what she referred to as the "Big Ugly Bill" during late-night hours. She stated that they subsequently spent two weeks attempting to "spin and swindle the American people about what was in it." According to Brown, the bill's consequences include millions losing health care and nutrition benefits while providing tax cuts for the wealthy ("House Republicans passed the Big Ugly Bill in the dead of night...").
Later that day, Rep. Brown announced an upcoming event: Saturday's OH-11 Housing Expo & Conference. The conference will feature breakout sessions, including one on Housing Solutions for Seniors with speakers Michael Billnitzer from Ben Rose Institute on Aging, Patricia Newell from Cuyahoga County Division of Senior and Adult Services, and June Taylor ("Saturday's OH-11 Housing Expo & Conference will also feature breakout sessions...").
On June 5, 2025, Rep. Brown expressed satisfaction over a court ruling against former President Trump’s administration concerning Job Corps funding. She described this as a win for Americans, emphasizing Job Corps' significance as a lifeline for thousands in Northeast Ohio. Brown pledged continued efforts against any attempts by Trump's administration to dismantle Job Corps ("A loss for Trump in court, and a win for the American people...").
Shontel Brown has served in Congress since replacing Marcia Fudge in 2021 after previously serving on the Cuyahoga County Council from 2015 to 2021.
