for reelection.

“I am so happy that I not only have a congresswoman, but a sister and a friend, that goes to Washington, D.C., every single day to work with President Biden and other leaders in D.C. to make sure that Cleveland gets its fair share of resources,” Bibb said.

Bibb said he and Brown got to know each other several years ago on a trip to Israel when their flight to Tel Aviv was delayed for hours. ... When Bibb was running for mayor last year, he did not weigh in on the special election to fill HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge’s seat in Congress. But he did receive an endorsement from Brown’s main opponent, former state Sen. Nina Turner, who is running for the seat again.

Tuesday’s endorsement dismayed some of Bibb’s more progressive supporters who are sympathetic to Turner’s campaign. Asked by reporters about his decision to back Brown, Bibb said Brown had “the right relationships with the Biden administration” to secure federal support for Cleveland.

“Fighting for our fair share of resources is critical for me as mayor, and Congresswoman Brown has been fighting since she’s gotten to Washington, D.C., to make sure Cleveland gets its fair share of resources and investments,” Bibb said.
