(WASHINGTON, D.C. – January 25, 2025) – Once again, Voices in the Public Square shines a spotlight on the breadth of talent and experience within the Black conservative community, proving that the right side of the aisle is rich with dynamic voices and impactful leaders. This week, BPALiveWire celebrates Lynne Patton, whose leadership and wise counsel within Trump’s first administration was invaluable.
The White House announced that Patton will serve as Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Minority Outreach, where she will be charged with ensuring that President Trump continues to build upon his historic Election Day support from Blacks, Latinos and Women. Patton served as Senior Advisor on the Trump Campaign and has been one of the Trump family’s longest-serving and most trusted aides.Â
Before joining the Trump campaign, Patton was the Regional Administrator for Federal Region II at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and Senior Advisor to Secretary Ben Carson. At HUD, Lynne worked tirelessly to bring accountability, reform, and results to some of our country’s most challenging housing issues.Â
From championing the rights of underserved communities to exposing corruption and mismanagement within public housing systems, Lynne consistently fought for fairness and opportunity, earning her the bipartisan respect of industry peers and local elected officials. Lynne’s deep connection to the issues affecting minority communities and her remarkable interpersonal skills make her the ideal person to lead this critical outreach effort. She holds a B.S. from the University of Miami and attended Quinnipiac University School of Law.Â
