Bracey had previously served as the legislative co-chair for the league. That position showed her commitment to local government advocacy and most likely led to her nomination to the board of officers, said Debbie Bitting, the league’s communications director.

Established in 1900, the league’s core goal is to “strengthen and empower local government,” Bitting said, including through lobbying for bills supportive of urban government and against bills that are not.
