Meet Jerrod Lucker

Hello everyone, my name is Jerrod Lucker, and I am running for mayor of Rochester. It would be the highest honor and privilege to serve as your mayor. I’m a certified health coach, personal trainer, musician, and educator with a deep passion for this city and its people.

As a father of three boys and husband of my high school sweetheart, together 24 years, I know the challenges families face. I was raised working class, experienced poverty and even homelessness, and I have a unique window into the needs of our community.

Having worked in our local schools and served in public service, I have dedicated myself to education, health, family, and developing human potential. Rochester deserves an advocate and champion who can showcase our best and help us build a 21st-century city.

As your mayor, I will fight to provide world-class education, improve housing, invest in our parks, support small businesses, and partner with major employers. I want to expand opportunities for families, create new spaces to gather, keep taxes low, and highlight our city’s strengths.

Rochester is a beacon of health, welcoming people from all walks of life. I will protect the rights of immigrants, our LGBTQ+ community, the elderly, the disabled, and everyday workers. Diversity is not a liability—it is our greatest strength. Together, we can create the best city within our power. If I have the privilege of serving as your mayor, I promise to listen, learn, keep an open mind and an open heart, and do my very best—because, as I tell my sons, our best is always good enough. For Rochester, the best is yet to come.
