Louisville Historical League Board , etc.- For years, a powerful few have advanced THEIR vision & profits at the expense of OUR quality of life and rights.
- As Mayor, I will start the shift to a government that serves, rather than bully or dictate to the community.
- It's time to take the keys to our city away from those who have forgotten they work for the PUBLIC. Louisville is at a crossroads. It is time for a new brand of leadership that arises from the community, with a track record advocating FOR the community.
