Shontel Brown, who won a November 2021 special election in Ohio’s 11th District, said she wanted to be “a partner” for the Biden-Harris administration in Congress who will “work with people who want to work with me.” Brown was elected to complete the term of Democrat Marcia Fudge, a mentor to Brown who left the House to become President Joe Biden’s housing and urban development secretary. She describes her policy platform as “health care, jobs, and justice.”
