Raquel E. Carter believes

Lexington Deserves more JOBS.

As a local business owner, I have firsthand experience in job creation and career building.  I also have encountered the challenges of doing business in our city.  Lexington deserves leadership that is a champion of business.  If we want better paying jobs we have to create job opportunities within our existing industries, recruit new businesses, and make it easier to do business with and in Lexington.

As Mayor I will…

  • Enlist our local business community as a partner, not an adversary.

  • Reduce red tape and redundant processes that deter new business.

  • Launch a coordinated campaign to bring more jobs downtown.

  • Include business and employment opportunities in all community development plans.
