Critics of Shontel Brown equate her 11-hour win this week with dark money flowing into her campaign. In an AP interview, the Congressional candidate from Ohio pushed back at the notion: 'I think it was decided by the people who deliver results.'

Brown held off progressive Nina Turner Tuesday, Aug. 3, 2021, to win the Democratic primary for an open U.S. House seat in Ohio. She will vie to replace Rep. Marcia Fudge, who left to be President Joe Biden's housing chief, in the 11th Congressional District in November.
Brown, 46, has chaired the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party, the largest county party in Ohio, since 2017. She’s currently on the Cuyahoga County Council. Brown faces Republican Laverne Gore in November, but is a strong favorite to be the next representative from the heavily Democratic 11th Congressional District.Brown criticized Turner, a popular surrogate during Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaigns, as divisive and has pledged to be a bridge builder.
AP: Turner attributed your victory to “the influence of dark money.” Were you comfortable with the amount of money spent on electing you by outside groups, or did they have an outsize influence on Ohio voters in this race? BROWN: I think there’s certainly some room for other voices at the table, for sure. And I’ve been hyperfocused on trying to find that common ground: Where can we meet together so that we can make progress? That’s been my focus. I’m not one that looks for the dividing point but really looking for the uniting point.
