Today kicks off the Democratic National Convention! I am excited to be here in Chicago as we come together to celebrate our progress, emphasize what’s at stake in this election, and unite around our shared values of democracy and freedom for all Americans.
When it comes to policies and elections, Democrats are all about the future, and the best indicator of that is past behavior. President Biden, VP Harris, and Democrats in Congress have worked tirelessly to put forward policies that improve the quality of life of all Americans – regardless of party affiliation, cut costs, and make much-needed investments in our infrastructure.
Republicans, on the other hand, plan to take our nation backward. The GOP is determined to implement Trump’s Project 2025, which would dismantle our democracy and strip away our rights. And recently, JD Vance has defended Trump’s ties to white supremacy and refused to denounce the hateful agenda of MAGA Republicans.
As a Cuyahoga County Council member and Chairwoman of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party, Shontel Brown has spent the last decade serving the people of Ohio and building coalitions. Now, as the Congresswoman for Ohio’s 11th District, she will fight for affordable quality health care, jobs that pay fair wages, a strong public education system, and equity and justice for all. Will you join her and be the change we need?
