82. Here she is...campaigning.🤔

Brown, 46, is a county councilwoman and the first Black person and first woman to chair the influential Cuyahoga Democratic Party. Her campaign’s internal polling shows Brown has largely closed the 26-point support deficit between her and Turner in the last three months. She has the support of the political arm of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC); Rep. Jim Clyburn, the third-ranking House Democrat who was instrumental in Biden’s successful South Carolina primary bid to win over Black voters; and, in an indicator that she is seen as the successor to Housing Secretary Marcia Fudge, the former CBC chair who represented this district from 2008 until earlier this year, Fudge’s own mother.

“I have no desire to join ‘The Squad.’ I truly believe the people here in the 11th Congressional District is the only squad I will be looking to serve,” Brown assured voters at a house party over the weekend.

Turner is known for a bold style that has at times put her at odds with members of her own party. After Sanders lost the Democratic presidential nominations in 2016 and 2020, she did little to turn out voters for Hillary Clinton or Biden. A July 2020 interview with the Atlantic has become fodder for her opponents and some voters cite it as a concern. In it, Turner likened voting for Biden over Trump as being asked to eat half a “bowl of shit … instead of the whole thing.”

“I’m running on a vision,” Turner told The 19th in an interview this week. “People should be more fixated on fixing the problems in this district, and this state in this nation, than on some colorful words that I used in the heat of a primary.”
