Dana L. Redd (born March 7, 1968) is an American Democratic politician and is the current Mayor of Camden, New Jersey. Redd served in the New Jersey Senate from January 8, 2008 to January 5, 2010, representing the 5th legislative district.
Life and career
Redd served on the Senate's Community and Urban Affairs Committee (as Vice-Chair), the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee. She also served on the Joint Committee on Public Schools.[1]
Redd has served on the New Jersey Democratic State Committee as its Vice Chair since 2006 and on the Democratic National Committee from 2006, and was a delegate to the 2004 Democratic National Convention. She has served on the New Jersey Redistricting Commission since 2001. Redd has served on the Camden City Council as Vice Chair since 2001 and on its Housing Authority, as Chair, from 2004 to 2006.[1]
She simultaneously held a seat in the New Jersey Senate and on the City Council. This dual position, often called double dipping, is allowed under a grandfather clause in the state law enacted by the New Jersey Legislature and signed into law by Governor of New Jersey Jon Corzine in September 2007 that prevents dual-office-holding but allows those who had held both positions as of February 1, 2008, to retain both posts.[2]
Education
Redd received a B.S. from Rutgers University-Camden in Business and attended the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy (Principles of Redevelopment),[1] and earned a Master of Arts in Human Services Administration (MHSA) from The Lincoln University (Pennsylvania). She was elected mayor of Camden in 2009.[3] She won the Democratic primary in June 2009 with 86% of the vote, and was the general favorite in the November election.[4] She won the general election on November 3, 2009, and was re-elected in 2013 for another four year term.
