Members in Public Service

The Lindenwold Democrat Club is proud to recognize members of our organization who serve in elected and public service roles, including Borough Council, County Committee, Fire Commissioner, and School Board. Please note that School Board and Fire Commissioner positions are nonpartisan. Members serving in these roles did not run as Democratic candidates, and we respect the nonpartisan nature of those offices. We are proud of their commitment to service and their dedication to the Lindenwold community.

Councilwoman Odessa Patton
(2022)

After more than 20 years of public service, Odessa decided at the age of 40 to follow her dream of helping others become the best they can be. Building a consulting and outreach platform has not always been easy, but through The Village with an Open Heart, Odessa continues to live out the message of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. “Entering politics was no longer part of my plan, but God found a way to use me anyhow. Since serving on Lindenwold Borough Council, I completed the training needed to become a therapist and am now pursuing full licensure. Being a Council Member has taught me not only to follow my dreams, but to move beyond fear as well.” Odessa’s LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/odessalpatton
