My name is Patrick Patterson, and I’m honored to be running for Justice of the Peace, Precinct 1. I was raised right here in this community. I went to school here, worked here, and built lifelong relationships that have shaped who I am today.
My wife, Darby, and I have raised our three children—Jack, Hannah, and Cooper—right here at home in this same community that’s given us so much.
I stand before you not as a politician, but as your neighbor, your friend, and a fellow citizen who believes deeply in fairness, compassion, and common sense.
I was fortunate to be raised by two great men—my dad, Bob Patterson, and my stepfather, Ted Duffield. This journey is personal to me because many of you know my stepfather currently serves as Justice of the Peace Pct 1. Watching him lead with integrity, patience, and respect for the law has inspired me more than words can say.
I’ve been taught that true public service isn’t about talking the loudest, it’s about listening the most. There’s a quote I hold close: “If you have the ability to lead, then you have the responsibility to lead.”
So here’s my promise to you:·
I will serve with humility.
I will listen with empathy.
And I will ensure the law is applied fairly, consistently, and with respect for every person who walks through those courtroom doors.
