Rep. Shontel Brown, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Ohio’s 11th district since 2021, addressed economic and legislative issues in a series of posts on August 12, 2025.
In her first post, Brown criticized the economic impact of former President Donald Trump’s policies on Black Americans, stating on August 12, 2025: "Trump's economy is hurting Black Americans. Don't tell me you're surprised."
Later that day, she expanded her critique to the broader effects of Trump-era policies on consumer costs and tax benefits. On August 12, 2025, she wrote: "Trump's policies are making life more expensive - from cars to coffee to clothes. His friends get tax cuts, we get the bill."
In a third post on August 12, 2025, Brown highlighted her engagement with constituents at a local event and her subsequent decision to support new legislation. She stated: "At our town hall in Shaker Heights a constituent recommended legislation by @RepSaraJacobs. We checked it out and now I’m cosponsoring the bill! Your feedback matters - thank you."
