RAQUEL E. carter believes

Lexington Deserves More OPPORTUNITY.

As a parent and community leader, I believe building a city that works not just for us, but for generations to come is our responsibility.  Lexington deserves leadership that drives innovation and attracts emerging professionals, workforce entrants and our next-generation leaders. “Complacency is the enemy of progress.”  We deserve leadership that creates a path to success and leverages all available assets to achieve it.


As Mayor I will…

  • Build a workforce development system that prepares residents for real, high-wage, high-demand careers. 

  • Maximize partnerships with our local education institutions.

  • Fully fund and expand youth initiatives with proven success.

  • Simplify capital access for aspiring entrepreneurs.
