Councilwoman Denise Gray, J.D. was elected to represent the residents of the 6th District in November of 2022.
Denise is a proud graduate of Bryan Station High School. She went to the University of Louisville, where she earned a B.A. in Communications and was a founding member of Louisville’s National Championship All-Girl Cheerleading Squad. She later graduated from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law.
Upon returning to Lexington, she sought to further her impact on our community and shifted her career to education. She started working with Fayette County Public Schools, helping Booker T. Washington Intermediate Academy students, Harrison Elementary, Crawford Middle, and Bryan Station High Schools.
Denise is honored to serve the residents of the 6th District and be the voice for all residents who need an advocate. She serves as a board member with Autism Society Bluegrass and The Fayette Education Foundation. She is also a member of Lexington’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day Planning Committee and is honored to serve as co-chair of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day’s Finance Sub-Committee.
During her first term as a councilwoman, Denise has offered events such as free movie nights, fitness in the park, and The 6th District Presents: Who Has Talent.
One of Councilwoman Gray’s proudest achievements is giving Lexington youth the opportunity to learn more about local government with her Youth In Government Day.

About Council District 6
The sixth district is located on the ancestral homelands of the Adena, Cherokee, Hopewell, Osage, Shawnee, and Yuchi peoples. It stretches along Lexington's north and east sides with Paris Pike, Winchester, Liberty, Man O'War, and Bryan Station roads as major corridors.
Cultural and socioeconomic diversity distinguishes this vibrant district. Residents speak a variety of languages, including Chinese, English, French, Spanish, Swahili, and Vietnamese, among others. Additionally, it is a wonderful place to learn, play, and work! The district houses 13 Fayette County Public Schools with 15 programs within them, six city parks, and many small and large businesses.
Some highlights of the sixth district include the Brighton Rail Trail, Hamburg Pavilion, a regional retail center that provides shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities for thousands from across Lexington and neighboring counties, and the Hamburg Place Horse Cemetery, which houses the remains of some of racing’s most famous thoroughbreds and several Kentucky Derby winners.
