Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council
Every member of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council, as the Kentucky Department for Local Government's county directory lists them.
Fayette County has no fiscal court: it merged with its city, and the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council is its governing body (KRS 67A). These are the 14 members the Kentucky Department for Local Government's directory lists, each elected from a council district that is not drawn here yet. The mayor, Linda Gorton, is the government's executive and is not a member of the council.

districtry is an independent, unofficial civic reference. It never guesses at who holds a seat: every name above is listed by the Kentucky Department for Local Government, which does not say when a county last updated its entry, so the county's own website is the current word.
