As we wrap up Black History Month, we want to take this opportunity to recognize our very own groundbreaking voice for Black lives, Rep. Shontel Brown.
FIRST: Shontel crafted and passed bipartisan legislation declaring racism a public health crisis as a Cuyahoga County Councilmember.
THEN: She made history as the first woman and first Black person to lead Ohio’s largest Democratic party, the Cuyahoga County Democrats.
NOW: She’s fighting for Black lives every day as the Representative for Ohio’s 11th Congressional District.
Shontel has always worked to uplift Black voices, and right now, we need to make sure she has the resources to continue that work in the House.
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?
