After serving as Mayor Pro-Tempore for two terms, Carter assumed office in 2023.

He is a Nicholasville native, attended West Jessamine High School, and earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration, Finance and Economics from the University of Kentucky before beginning his career in commercial real estate. He served on the Nicholasville Planning & Zoning Board of Adjustments before becoming a Commissioner.

With a growing family that includes infant twin boys and a daughter who turned three on Christmas Day, Carter and his wife Colby have a full schedule. But, for Alex, having a role in the future of Nicholasville is an opportunity he wanted to seize.
