Shontel Brown will give up her chairmanship of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party at the end of her term this year, the Congresswoman announced at a Wednesday night party meeting.

Brown has led the party since 2017. Party central committee members vote in June to elect a new chair.

“I’ve been blessed to now be your 11th Congressional District representative, something I work hard at every day to deliver for our community,” Brown said. “Because of that role, and because I believe we will have the party in excellent shape to continue moving forward, I am announcing today that I will not seek another term as chair.”

Brown will have to defend the U.S. House seat she won in last year’s special elections to replace HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge. Nina Turner, Brown’s chief opponent last year, announced Wednesday that she would run for Congress again.
