Evers Orders Flags to Half-Staff in Honor of Ed Brooks
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 04/26/2019
Gov. Tony Evers ordered the flags of the United States and the State of Wisconsin to be flown at half-staff as a mark of respect for Ed Brooks, a former representative of the 50th state assembly district, who served in the Wisconsin Legislature from 2009 to
2019. The order is effective beginning at sunrise on April 29 and ending at sunset on that date.
"Our hearts are with Barbara as well as Ed's three daughters and their friends and family as we mourn the loss of an exceptional husband, father, friend, and public servant," said Evers. "Ed dedicated his life and career fighting for the people of Wisconsin and
leaves behind an honorable legacy of relentless advocacy and service."
Brooks, who died of cancer on Tuesday at the age of 76, was a longtime member of the Assembly Agriculture Committee. He was also a life-long farmer and held many leadership positions in local government and farm organizations throughout his career.
Funeral services will be held Monday in Rock Springs.
