Adrian Doko is a small business owner, a husband and father, and a neighbor who cares deeply about Lewisville. For more than 25 years, he and his family have operated a local restaurant in Lewisville, serving thousands of residents through everyday moments and major milestones. Over the years, Adrian has watched families grow, welcomed new neighbors, and seen firsthand what makes Lewisville special: People who work hard, care about each other, and take pride in the place they call home.
Lewisville has changed quickly, and with that growth has come real challenges that families feel every day: heavier traffic, safety concerns, rising costs, and a growing worry that the city could lose the character that makes its neighborhoods feel like home. Adrian is stepping forward now because he believes this moment matters. His purpose isn’t personal ambition, it’s protecting Lewisville’s quality of life and making sure the city’s future is shaped by the people who live here, not by rushed decisions or outside interests.
Adrian’s work has always been rooted in service. Running a restaurant teaches you how to listen, solve problems, manage a budget, and treat people with respect because trust isn’t something you claim, it’s something you earn. That same approach guides his role as Chairman of the Lewisville 2035 Vision Plan, where he helps engage residents and work alongside city management to plan the future with the community’s voice at the center. His focus is simple: strong neighborhoods, safe streets, responsible growth, and a city that remains welcoming and affordable.
At his core, Adrian believes leadership should be steady and practical. People should come first. Respect should be the standard, even when there’s disagreement. Decisions should be financially responsible and grounded in common sense. And leaders should listen more than they talk. These values aren’t political, they’re personal, and they reflect the kind of community Lewisville has always been.
Lewisville isn’t just where Adrian works, it’s home. It’s where his family built their life, where friendships have become family, and where he has seen the best of what a city can be when it stays rooted in community pride. He wants Lewisville to remain the kind of place where families feel safe, seniors feel supported, and the next generation can build a future without being priced out or pushed aside.
Whether residents agree with him on every issue or not, Adrian welcomes the conversation. If you see him around town, he hopes you’ll say hello, and if there’s something you want City Hall to improve, he’s listening, because Lewisville’s future should always be built together.
