Brent Edison

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brent Edison (b. 1956, Milnor, North Dakota) is an attorney and Democratic-NPL politician from North Dakota. He has unsuccessfully ran for both State Auditor in 2004 and for State Tax Commissioner in 2006. Edison's campaign for Tax Commissioner was tarnished when it was publicized that he was fired from a state agency, Workforce Safety and Insurance, after reportedly creating a hostile work environment.[1] Nonetheless, there was never a formal reason for Edison's dismissal, leading many to believe it was politically motivated. [2][3] Problems at WSI worsened dramatically after Edison's firing, leading to the dismissal of his successor Sandy Blunt and significant tension within WSI.[4]

Edison is a native of Milnor. He graduated from North Dakota State University with a business degree and attended law school at the University of North Dakota. Currently, he lives in Bismarck and works as Assistant Disciplinary Counsel for the Disciplinary Board of the North Dakota Supreme Court and the state Judicial Conduct Commission.
