During the Democratic National Convention, Shontel Brown spoke at the Women’s Caucus to pump up Democrats to get involved this November and leave everything on the field because, as she stated, “After all is said and done, we want to make sure more has been done than said.”
We wanted to share her remarks with you today:
In 2016, we had one of the most qualified candidates in history on the ballot. But instead of electing our first woman president, we elected a man who threatened the very fabric of our nation. This resulted in a massive rollback of our rights, including the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Now, we have to ask ourselves, “Did we do everything we could to make sure we won that election?”
We CANNOT repeat history.
We have an opportunity this November to defeat extremism and elect our first Black and South Asian woman president. We cannot take this moment for granted.
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?
