Aside from her history making election as the first black Trustee in Clinton Township, Tammy Patton is a unique Trustee because she is not motivated by the furthering of her career or access to power. Tammy serves in office to serve the people. To give them a voice. To give them hope. To let them know that someone is listening to them, thinking of them, working for them and held accountable by them. So many things feel out of our control, but Tammy knows that the first step towards progress leads to another and another and another.


A licensed counselor, a devoted wife, a mother to six children and former foster parent, a U.S. Army veteran, a devout Roman Catholic, a business owner. Tammy Patton has served in more ways than one across a lifetime of empathy, civic responsibility and hard work. Now she continues that lifelong work as your newest Clinton Township Trustee.
