In a 2022 candidate profile, Lane Carter told Concho Valley Homepage he was born and raised locally, graduated from Central High School, and earned a biology degree from ASU in 2010 and a nursing degree in 2011.1 He said he was elected to the San Angelo City Council, District 5, in 2016, and now works as a general contractor and real estate investor.1
In that profile, Carter said budget is "probably your number one issue" for a county judge, because services rely on the tax base.1 He pointed to his council work on budgets and emergency management and said he had "the experience of six budget cycles."1
