Meet Tate

Like over half of all Lexingtonians today, Tate did not grow up here.

A Boone County native, Tate Ohmer is a third-generation member of his family contracting business. Working alongside his family, he has literally built bridges, fixed up old farmhouses and works to keep parks beautiful. Currently a proud resident of Northside, Tate moved to Lexington to attend Transylvania University and fell in love with his community instantly. Graduating magna cum laude in 2023, he has dedicated his time to building metaphorical bridges.

Serving on his neighborhood association, Tate has worked to engage his neighbors in the small yet important decisions. As a non-profit lobbyist, Tate helped to negotiate the largest due process protection rights package in state history, the Kentucky Campus Due Process Protection Act. As a campaign consultant, he has helped candidates from city hall to Capitol Hill. A self-admitted policy wonk, Tate believes in good people, and good policies, and has worked with Republicans and Democrats alike on what he believes will help the most people at all times.

When not working, Tate can usually be found at a coffee shop, or at home obsessing over his vinyl collection (and always feel free to ask him about his newest acquisition!)
