U.S. Representative Shontel Brown, who serves Ohio’s 11th district, has voiced concerns on social media about impending government funding issues and proposed health care cuts by Republican lawmakers. In a series of posts on September 29, 2025, Brown criticized GOP actions and highlighted their potential impact on her constituents.
In her first tweet at 13:30 UTC, Brown warned that government funding was set to expire soon. She stated, "Govt funding runs out in two days. Trump and Republicans continue marching toward a govt shutdown while worsening the health care crisis they created.
38,000 people in our district will see their premiums increase if GOP health care cuts go through.
Dems are fighting back."
Later the same day at 19:54 UTC, Brown reiterated concerns over the consequences of proposed changes to health care policy: "It's really simple.
Millions of Americans will be hit with massive health insurance price increases because of GOP cuts to the Affordable Care Act.
Democrats want to cancel the cuts and lower costs."
Brown also addressed immigration enforcement under former President Donald Trump’s administration in a tweet at 13:53 UTC. She wrote, "ICE has been lawless and reckless under Trump, violating due process, ignoring the law, and hiding behind masks. And 65% of people detained have no criminal convictions and 93% have no violent offenses. Trump isn't making us safer."
Representative Shontel Brown has served Ohio’s 11th District since replacing Marcia Fudge in Congress in 2021; she previously sat on Cuyahoga County Council from 2015 to 2021. Born in Cleveland in 1975 and currently residing in Warrensville Heights, Brown holds a bachelor’s degree from Wilberforce University.
The tweets come amid heightened political tension over federal spending bills and ongoing debate about changes to health care programs such as the Affordable Care Act—a law which has been repeatedly targeted for modification or repeal by Republican legislators.
