Ohio's 11th congressional district includes most of Cleveland, a largely Black pocket of Akron, and select suburbs of Cuyahoga and Summit counties.

Brown's campaign told Clevelandurbannews.com and-Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com that Brown is grateful for the support in pursuit of the congressional seat vacated on March 10 by former congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge, now the secretary of Housing and Urban Development in President Joe Biden's cabinet.

"I am grateful to the thousands of people who have contributed to our campaign," said Brown. "I've always focused on making a difference in people's lives. I am running for Congress to lead Northeast Ohio's economic recovery, and to partner with the Biden administration to get it done."

Turner also thanked her supporters.

"I am so grateful for all of the grassroots support we are receiving from working people in Ohio and across the nation," said Turner, who is also a former Cleveland councilwoman. " This is a people-powered campaign that is centered around an opportunity agenda of better wages, better health care, better education and dignity for all."

Brown's fundraising success comes on the heels of recent endorsements by the United Auto Workers, the Iron Workers, and U.S. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty, and Turner's on recent endorsements from Rep Ocasio-Cortez, Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, and the Amalgamated Transit Union.
