Three City Council members sworn in

Two council members return, while one newcomer joins

Two returning members and one newcomer were sworn in on the Greenville City Council at the Dec. 8 meeting.

Incumbents Lillian Brock-Flemming and Wil Brasington began their next terms, while Tina Belge became the newest member of Council.

Belge filled the at-large seat previously held by Russell Stall, who did not seek re-election. She brings experience in community development, urban planning and affordable housing advocacy.

“Standing here tonight is something I dreamed about as a little girl, long before I ever knew the words public service or policy,” Belge said. “I just knew I wanted to help people and make communities stronger to be here now in this role is more than I can express.”

Brock-Flemming, representing District 2, is the longest serving councilor in the history of Greenville. She just completed her 44th year on Council, serving since 1981. Brock-Flemming also spent 46 years in public education and is widely recognized for her neighborhood advocacy and commitment to community service.

Wil Brasington has represented District 4 since 2017, focusing on growth, public safety and strengthening the local business climate. Prior to his election to council, Brasington served on the City’s Planning Commission and is a past president of the Alta Vista Neighborhood Association.

Each member will serve a four-year term that runs through 2029.
