The GOP Farm Bill includes billions in cuts to SNAP, a program that people across OH-11 rely upon. It reflects a bad process, bad faith, and a bad bill.

Today the House Agriculture Committee will vote on the #FarmBill. Republicans want the largest cut to food assistance in 30 years and to weaken conservation & climate efforts. It’s wrong for NE Ohio and the country. We need a bipartisan Farm Bill that doesn’t punish families.

Cybersecurity is a critical yet understaffed field. With cyber threats on the rise, I’m leading a bill to address it by bringing diversity to the table. I'm so glad to be joined by CBC Chair Congressman Steven Horsford , Ranking Member Congressman Bennie G. Thompson and Rep. James E. Clyburn.

For too long, women have suffered due to fibroids, without adequate access to early detection or treatment. My new legislation, the #UFIGHT Act changes that, authorizing a new federal grant program.

If you fight fibroids, I’m fighting with you.

On Thursday, colleagues and women's health advocates joined me to announce the #UFIGHT Act. Millions of women endure severe symptoms due to uterine fibroids, which disproportionally impact Black women. My bill authorizes federal grants for early detection, treatment, and research – it’s needed.

70 years ago today, the Supreme Court issued the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision declaring racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. On this anniversary, let us reflect and continue to fight for full inclusion and equitable access to quality education for all of America’s children and youth.

Proud to announce the #UFIGHT Act, legislation to authorize federal grants for early detection, treatment, and research on uterine fibroids. Excited to have 50 cosponsors as well as Ohio and national women’s health organizations supporting the bill. https://shontelbrown.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-brown-introduces-u-fight-act-promote-early-detection-treatment

Summer EBT bridges gaps for children relying on school meals, & ensures they get the nutrition they need during the summer. I worked hard to make this vital program permanent so that thousands of kids don't have to worry about going hungry while on break. https://www.cleveland.com/news/2024/05/lower-income-ohioans-can-now-get-120-to-cover-kids-meals-while-schools-out-for-the-summer.html

It’s #NationalWomensHealthWeek and the contrast is clear.

House Republicans want to criminalize abortion and ban fertility services like IVF, part of their agenda to take away fundamental freedoms.

House Democrats are fighting to restore reproductive rights and access to care.

For many women, accessing health care can still be a challenge, a source of anxiety, or even fear-inducing. That's why I'm fighting for health care rights and equity, reproductive freedom, and speaking out against medical misogyny. #NWHW #NationalWomensHealthWeek

May is Jewish American Heritage Month — as we celebrate the contributions of Jewish Americans, we should reiterate our commitment to the safety and inclusion of Jewish communities in NE Ohio and nationwide. We must be resolute in saying antisemitism has no place in this country.

Happy #SmallBusinessWeek! Small businesses enrich our communities and expand opportunity. As a former entrepreneur, supporting small businesses is a priority, including minority and women-owned businesses. We’ve got to remove barriers and help more small businesses grow.

That’s why we formed our OH-11 Small Business Council, hold our Small Business Expos, and have hosted the head of the SBA and the Department of Commerce in the district. We want NE Ohio Small Businesses to be heard.

This week, the FTC issued a ban on non-compete clauses, an unfair practice that has been used to limit worker mobility and suppress wages.

Banning non-competes is a win for Ohio workers and working people nationwide.
