Compares the 2022 report with the 2023 report, using the same method for both. She took office in 2021. The House's online database has her electronic reports from 2022 on, so we can't show her wealth when she first took office. Changes can come from a spouse’s assets, market moves, property values, new debts or how filers choose bands, and the forms do not say which. We do not guess.

Where the money comes from
Main sources named in the disclosures and the reporting we cite. The forms don’t split the total into exact amounts, so we don’t show percentages.
Shontel Brown reported household assets minus debts of −$11K to $50K, a midpoint of about $20K, on her latest financial disclosure (2023 annual report, filed August 12, 2024).
Shontel Brown has represented Ohio's 11th congressional district since 2021. She is a member of the Democratic Party. The district is centered on Cleveland and nearby Cuyahoga County communities.
She previously served on the Cuyahoga County Council representing the 9th district. She won a 2021 special election after Marcia Fudge resigned to become Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and she was sworn in in November 2021.
What her 2023 disclosure shows
The report she filed on August 12, 2024 covers 2023. It lists 4 assets with a value, adding up to $4,000 to $60,000. The largest are Fidelity IRA: Fidelity Blue Chip Growth ($1,001–$15,000); Fidelity IRA: Fidelity Diversified International ($1,001–$15,000) and Fidelity IRA: Fidelity Freedom 2024 ($1,001–$15,000). Another one item is listed with no value or an undetermined value, such as a pension, so it is not counted.
On the debt side, the report lists one debt, a student Loans with MOHELA, in the $10,000–$15,000 band. Subtracting debts the same way gives a range of −$11,000 to $50,000, with a midpoint of about $20,000. It also lists a mortgage on a home the report does not list as an asset. As on all our House profiles, we leave that debt out because the home's value is not counted either.
How the range has changed
Using the same method for every year, the midpoint of her disclosed range went from about $36,000 on her 2022 report to about $20,000 on her 2023 report. The chart shows two reports from 2022 to 2023, each added up the same way, and nothing is filled in between them.
These are ranges built from the value bands on each form, not exact values. They move with market prices, property values, new or paid-off debts and the bands a filer picks, and the forms do not say which of these caused a change. Like every member of Congress, Brown does not have to report a home she lives in, cars and personal belongings, or federal retirement savings such as the Thrift Savings Plan, so her real net worth could be higher than these forms show.
