Edna Brass Sworn In for District 8

7/16/2020

 

Joliet resident to fill remainder of Winfrey’s County Board term

​JOLIET--  The Will County Board approved the appointment of Edna Brass to the board's vacant position in District 8. The appointment was made at the July board meeting and comes after the previous representative of District 8, Denise Winfrey of Joliet, vacated that seat to become County Executive following the passing of incumbent Lawrence Walsh Sr.
"I look forward to working with Ms. Brass on all of the important issues in Will County and in District 8," said Board Speaker Mimi Cowan (D-Naperville). "There are many pressing issues facing the residents in Will County and it is vital that we have a full board to serve all of our constituents."

​Brass grew up in Joliet and attended Joliet Central High School. She recently retired from Joliet Township High School as the District Director of Special Services. Brass attended Western Illinois University, where she received a B.S. and M.A. in Speech Pathology. She then attended Governors State University and Illinois State University for post graduate work in Educational Administration. She also studied at Eastern Illinois University where she obtained additional state certifications. Brass is also involved in the community through organizations like Easterseals and National Hook-Up of Black Women.
 
“Executive Winfrey served District 8 very well and I look forward to continuing to serve our constituents at the same level,” said Brass. “I am honored to be selected to fill this position. There is much to be done in Will County, especially during these challenging times, and I am ready to get to work.”
 
Brass joins Herb Brooks (D-Joliet) in representing District 8, which includes Joliet Township and part of Troy Township. The next election for District 8 seats will be held in November 2020.
 
"I want to welcome Edna to the board and I look forward to working with her," said Republican Minority Leader Mike Fricilone (R-Homer Glen).
 
Brass was nominated by the Will County Democratic Central Committee and appointed by the County Executive to serve the remainder of Winfrey’s term.
