LEADING LEXINGTON INTO THE FUTURE
Hello, everyone!
As Mayor, my team and I are leading Lexington into the future … finding new solutions through technology, and outside-the-box thinking.
Take a look at just a few of the changes I’ve made … changes that have helped put Lexington in the spotlight for innovation:
- Public safety – driving down crime rates
- A mobile market, making fresh food available throughout our community
- Expungement clinics, removing barriers to jobs, education and housing
- New approaches to workforce training, reaching all skill levels
- Regional economic development that will provide jobs in three Bluegrass counties – new jobs and revenue for Lexington
- New ag-tech companies, growing jobs for the future
Our hometown just celebrated its 250th birthday, and there was and is a lot to celebrate! Our economy is strong, crime is down, our budget is sound, we are increasing the supply of affordable housing, we have new parks and new parks facilities to enjoy, tourism is growing, and we are protecting our irreplaceable farmland from development.
As we turn the page in our community’s weighty history book, join me as we work together to lead Lexington into the future!
About Linda
I love this wonderful community! I chose Lexington as my place to call home after attending the University of Kentucky. It’s where I got an education, raised my family, and built my career as a Registered nurse.
This city has given so much to me and my family, my husband, Charlie, daughter, Abby, and son, Clay. I naturally chose Lexington as the place to give back.
I have served the public at every opportunity. At church, as a homeroom mom, scout leader, youth soccer coach, band parent, on the neighborhood council, in 16 years on the Urban County Council, and now after nearly 8 years in the Mayor’s Office, I have been honored to give back to Lexington.
