Who represented the patricians in Rome?
The patricians were originally represented by the entire senate and all the elected officials. As times changed, many men who were not connected to the old patrician families were able to enter the senate and so the ultimate patrician power rested with a coalition of the most powerful patrician families.The patricians were originally represented by the entire senate and all the elected officials.

Who was elected by plebeians?
At first the tribunes were elected to guard the interests of the plebeians, but by the late republic, at least one consul had to be a plebeian, as Caesar and Mark Antony in 44 BC.
What were the roman consuls elected from?
Consuls were traditionally elected from only patrician families, enabling the wealthy people to effectively run things as they saw fit, but later laws were passed so that people of plebian families could also become consul. Magistrates with imperium were elected by the centuriate assembly
Who patrician elected by the plebeians to speak for their interests?
There was no patrician elected by the plebeians to speak for their interests. There was a tribune who was elected by the plebeians to look after their interests, but he was a plebeian, not a patrician. Actually... P. Clodius Pulcher was a son of Appius Claudius, of the illustrious patrician Claudius gens. Pulcher was also an agent of Julius Caesar's. In order to get himself elected as Plebeian tribune, he was adopted into the plebeian family of Fontei in 59 BCE. He then went on to pass a number of popular laws and made Cicero's life very difficult. So, to answer the original question, yes there was a patrician who was elected Plebeian tribune, but he needed to be adopted into a plebeian family first.
Why the words patrician and plebeian linked together?
The patricians were the aristocracy and the plebeians were the commoners (all non-patrician) both rich and poor. In the Early Roman Republic the patricians monoplosised power. All the consuls (the two annually elected heads of the city and the army and the senators were patricians). There was a 200-year long Conflict of the Orders between patricians and plebeians where the rich plebeians fought for power-sharing with the patricians. They obtained this and they were co-opted into a patrician-plebeian oligarchy.
