Patty Sheehan

Patty Sheehan is a long-serving city commissioner in Orlando, Florida, and the first openly gay elected official in central Florida. She has been a key advocate for the establishment of a memorial at the site of the Pulse nightclub, where 49 people lost their lives in a mass shooting in 2016. Sheehan has expressed her frustrations with previous efforts to create a memorial, emphasizing the need for a respectful tribute rather than a commercialized museum.
