,John, with Congress in session, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on how we got here.

Ohio has elected 6 Black members of Congress, and four of those were elected from OH-11 – the district Shontel Brown now represents.

Before we share more about the history of OH-11, will you chip in $5 or more to support Shontel Brown’s campaign today? [link removed]

As the Daily Kos recently reported, Ohio’s first Black Congressman was Louis Stokes. Congressman Stokes was a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus and co-wrote the brief that led to the US Supreme Court ruling that created Ohio’s first majority Black district.

Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones was the first Black woman elected to the US Congress from Ohio. Congresswoman Marcia Fudge succeeded her until 2021 when she resigned to become Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

Shontel was elected to finish Congresswoman Fudge’s term in 2021 and is now starting her second full term in Congress.

In just a short amount of time, Shontel has sponsored 19 bills and co-sponsored nearly 700 bills. Ten have been enacted, including the Emmett Till Antilynching Act – which defines lynching as a federal hate crime, increasing the maximum penalty to 30 years imprisonment for several hate crime offenses.

The legacy of these groundbreaking leaders runs decades long, and Shontel is just getting started as she works to build on what they have started. From ensuring access to comprehensive and affordable healthcare to combating climate change that is wreaking havoc on our nation to preserving our democracy and more, Shontel is ready to fight for the future of America.

Shontel is a proven leader who is ready to tackle the challenges that our nation is facing, but she cannot do it alone. Help support her campaign as we near the Trump presidency by pitching in $5 or whatever you can today.
