I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the voters of Essex County for

reelecting me to serve as your At-Large Commissioner. The privilege of serving in

public office is one of the highest honors in our nation, and I am both humbled

and honored to have earned your trust during my time on the Board.

​

Without question, 2020 has been an extremely challenging year nationally - and

specifically for Essex County. We are still reeling from the COVID-19 pandemic

which has yielded over 30,000 positive cases in Essex County alone, and taken

the lives of 1,942 Essex County residents. I offer my heartfelt condolences to the

families and friends of those who have lost their lives, and I pledge that as

President of the Commission Board, I will work tirelessly to ensure that our County

Government agencies continue providing services such as food distribution,

free and easily available COVID-19 testing sites, rental assistance programs,

and other forms of relief to our residents in need.

​

As we move forward into 2021, I wish good health and prosperity to all, and I will do all I can to serve the public while working towards a brighter future for Essex County.

Thank you for your continued support.

 

Sincerely,
Brendan W. Gill
President of the Essex County Board of County Commissioners
