AI Summary

This resolution honors the life and public service of Jonathan Brostoff, a Wisconsin state representative and Milwaukee Common Council member who passed away on November 4, 2024, at age 41. Born in Milwaukee, Brostoff was a political science graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee who served in the Wisconsin Assembly from 2014 to 2023, participating in numerous committees and task forces. He was known for his passionate advocacy for criminal justice reform, disability rights, and workforce licensing regulations, famously growing his curly hair long until a bill supporting American Sign Language access became law. Brostoff was also committed to community service, volunteering at youth shelters, schools, and veterans' organizations, and was recognized for his ability to build relationships across political and social divides. A dedicated member of Milwaukee's Jewish community, he was a loving husband to Diana Vang-Brostoff and father to four children. The resolution remembers him as a kind, humorous, and deeply committed public servant who genuinely cared for the well-being of others and worked tirelessly to improve his community and state.
