PERSON: Alan Keck

City of Somerset

Mayor

Alan Keck was elected mayor of his hometown of Somerset in November 2018, after running a dynamic campaign to unify this southeastern Kentucky city and light it up through tourism, economic development, and community spirit. In his short time in office, he and his team have led a period of unprecedented change in Somerset — leading boldly and unapologetically to build a Somerset for all generations, charging forward with a vision to reignite the community’s economy.

Mayor Keck believes wholeheartedly in investing in people — not only city employees but also the people who choose to live, work and visit here. He has been dedicated to finding financial resources to support the community’s people while showing up to listen and consider ideas different from his own. He makes decisions daily that propel the community forward, while also being willing to step aside when necessary to make room for progress.
