very short article

snip-"Cuyahoga County Councilwoman Shontel Brown is adding Columbus-area Congresswoman Joyce Beatty to her list of former and current Democratic office holders backing her in the race for Ohio’s 11th Congressional District.".

I voted for Turner in 2014 for the Ohio Sec of State. I get she moved in other directions since then, but I cannot find out if she has built any local grass roots support since she was on the national stage. I also know that in some Democratic Black peoples groups, she is very unpopular b/c of her support for the "Bernie Bros". If she cannot tap into that AA volunteer & financial base, her candidacy looks unlikely to me.


I really liked & respected her work while she was a state legislature.

I have a knowledge base on Turner, I know next to nothing about Brown
