The CTA sent the candidates questions on a wide variety of topics of importance to our neighborhood and all of Metro Louisville. These include preservation, neighborhood plans, zoning, and Baxter Avenue/Bardstown Road development. You can read all of the candidates’ responses in entirety here. My responses appear below. It appears to the Cherokee Triangle Association […]
My old friend, Gill Holland, has a completely different race for Metro Council from my own. My campaign is all primary; he has no primary. My district is majority Democratic; his is not. But we want the same great things for Louisville and it would be an honor and a pleasure to serve on the Metro […]
How cool is it that one of the most popular events of Louisville’s year is our ACLU of Kentucky / Fairness Campaign “We The People” dinner, nourished over the years by local heroes Susan Hershberg, Michael Aldridge, and Chris Hartman? I was so proud to be a sponsor of any event whose rock stars are our […]
The Courier-Journal reported today that Seed Capital Kentucky and Mayor Greg Fischer signed a development agreement that officially makes way for work to begin on the $56 million West Louisville Food Port. I’m proud and grateful for our many, many partners in this work, including the people of Russell, Shawnee and Portland, Mayor Greg Fischer, and […]

Campaigning is new for me, so it brings lots of happy surprises – sometimes even from my fellow candidates in District 8. Corey Nett describes himself as a differently-abled resident of Tyler Park who joined the race for District 8 in November. His presence made a strong field stronger, and I had looked forward to […]
I truly love Louisville – in part because of the friends and community it has brought me. Now those friends are supporters, and you can hear from some of them in our new video. Check it out!
