That district is considered safely Republican, and GOP Rep. Mike Carey is expected to win Tuesday.

Brown also committed to ensuring equity among Covid-19 relief efforts and maternal health.Read MoreGore, also a native of Cleveland and a businesswoman, campaigned on reducing welfare, promoting police training and improving the illiteracy rate.
