As a member of County Council, Lin Axamethy Floyd will serve all the people of Delaware County. She'll do that by vigorously representing the strengths and needs of the County's diverse communities and by focusing on practical solutions to the challenges that face us. Her experience in state and local government and in business gives her a big picture view of how our county can work better for all of its residents.

A former president of the Nether Providence Township Board of Commissioners, Lin worked tirelessly to make local government accessible and accountable to all of its residents. Throughout her four-year term as Board president, she chaired the Township's Finance Committee, giving special attention to the Township's uniformed and non-uniformed employee pension plans and to its stormwater and sanitary infrastructure systems. She established the Township’s Recycling Task Force and involved interested citizens and the school district in a program redesign that has more than tripled recycling volume and greatly increased participation. The Sierra Club of Pennsylvania has endorsed Lin's candidacy for County Council.

A member of the Board of Directors of the Southeastern Pennsylvania First Suburbs Project, Lin has worked with this non-partisan, four-county group seeking solutions to region-wide challenges in infrastructure, educational funding, housing, and transportation. She also serves on the Board of Directors of Habitat for Humanity of Delaware County and chairs the Family Services Committee. Delaware County Council appointed Lin to its Women’s Commission. She is a past chairperson of that Commission.

A part-time patent attorney for a Philadelphia chemical company, Lin retired from the DuPont Company in 2005 after a 20-year career. Specializing in industrial biotechnology, licensing, and strategic planning, she earned her law degree at Temple University’s Beasley School of Law and later taught patent law there as an adjunct professor. Before attending law school she was a legislative research analyst for the Washington State Senate. Lin and her husband, Harold, have lived in Nether Providence Township since 1985. Their two daughters graduated from the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District.
