Building a better Lexington
Campaign 2026 is vitally important to the future of our community.
I‘m not going to speak to specific issues. We know them….
Instead, let's talk about the traits and characteristics that I believe I have developed.
Skills that leaders need to have to continue to move Lexington forward in the uncertain, murky waters that lie ahead. To address these issues and the ones that are yet to come.
I’m going to talk about what I believe is B.E.S.T. for making Lexington better.
