In addition, he was the Ranking Minority Member for the Natural Resources and Environment Committee, Insurance Commerce & Labor as well as the State and Local Government Committee. Cuyahoga County Council In 2010, Brady was first elected to the then newly formed Cuyahoga County Council. He would then be reelected in 2014 and 2018, and is now in his third term. He became council president in 2015. Family Dan's wife Dona Brady (with whom he's been married to since 1987) was a member of Cleveland City Council, holding Dan's old seat that he vacated when he became an Ohio state representative (meaning that same seat has been held by a Brady - sans the period between Dan vacating the seat and Dona winning the succeeding special election - from 1986 to Dona's resignation in 2020). The Bradys have a daughter named Kelly, and a grandson named Jonathan.
