Former Cleveland Heights Mayor Alan Rapoport:
A Real Alternative to Shontel Brown
Alan Rapoport is running for election to the U.S. House of Representatives in the 11th Congressional District so voters will have a choice in November. He offers a “moderate” alternative to Shontel Brown, his “progressive” opponent.
District 11 includes most of Cuyahoga County, Ohio.
Alan Rapoport is a former three term Mayor of Cleveland Heights. As a lawyer with 50 years of experience, he has represented families and businesses. He is the best qualified candidate to represent us in Congress.
Alan Rapoport once was elected unanimously by Democrat and Republican members as a city council president. He now seeks support from traditional Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. Together, we must unite against a destructive Progressive Movement.
Alan Rapoport has major concerns about the progressive agenda:
- The bad effect an irrational war against fossil fuel has had on inflation and interest rates
- The destruction of police morale caused by the “defund” movement
- The invasion of our national borders by potential criminals, terrorists and drug dealers
- The culture wars against families and women in education and sports
- The many interferences with our freedoms by the government and the administrative state
- The existential threat from China as it engages in hostile activities
- The wars in Ukraine and Israel caused by horrible foreign policies
- The threat of nuclear war because of a badly flawed Iran Deal
Our country faces threats to our standard of living and threats to our safety. It is a time for representatives who demonstrate competence and common sense. And Shontel Brown demonstrates neither.
There is a big difference between Alan Rapoport and Shontel Brown. Unlike Shontel Brown, Alan Rapoport has a belief in an agenda for a better future.

Shontel Brown voted “no”.
CULTURE WARS

We live in dangerous times. Economic insecurity, chaos, invasions, and wars all threaten us.
Our representatives in Congress must show courage and common sense. And the voting record of Shontel Brown brings into doubt whether she offers enough of either.
