What People Are Saying About Greg Fischer

"I'm in a unique position, as a former Jefferson County Judge-Executive and Mayor of Louisville, to know who can best lead Louisville Metro as Mayor. As one of the most active leaders of the merger campaign, I clearly see that the promise of merger has not yet been fulfilled. Our community needs Greg Fischer as our Mayor because he knows the importance of making good on the promise of merger. It's why I'm voting for Greg Fischer for Mayor and ask that you do, too." -David Armstrong, Former Jefferson County Judge/Executive and Mayor of Louisville

"As a State Senator, I support Greg Fischer for Louisville Metro Mayor because he has the experience as a small businessman, a job creator, an award-winning leader, and a problem solver to put Louisville back to work. He believes in open, honest and transparent government and offers a Citizens Bill of Rights that assures convenient access to local government for everyone." -State Senator Tim Shaughnessy, 19th District

"As a friend of Greg Fischer's, I can vouch for his character and integrity, his intense devotion to Louisville and its people, and his clear vision for a better tomorrow for everyone in our community. Greg understands the importance of providing safe neighborhoods in which we all can live, work and raise our families. He wants everyone, from pre-schoolers to adult learners, to have the education and training needed to succeed in life and on the job. Greg is what, and who, Louisville needs as its next Mayor, which is why I'm supporting him." -State Senator Denise Harper-Angel, 35th District

"I support Greg Fischer for Mayor of Louisville Metro because he's a good listener, views problems as challenges and seeks innovative solutions to them, and has a successful entrepreneurial background. He maintains a strong sense of reasonableness about him which makes it easier for him to bring diverse groups of people together and help them reach a consensus on important issues and projects. I don't believe he would rely on only one or two advisors for important advice. I'm also convinced Greg will push for Louisville to receive a better share of investments coming from Frankfort." -State Representative Steve Riggs, 31st District

"I have always endorsed political candidates over their platforms. Platforms are words on paper. People have characteristics which are measureable. Greg Fischer's platform is attractive. But, I am endorsing him for Mayor of Louisville, because of his characteristics of energy, experience, and values. These, more than his platform, will make him a good Mayor." -Ron Mazzoli, Former Third District Congressman (1971-1995) and Former State Senator (1968-1970)

"Louisville needs a leader for the entire community. From the first day of his campaign Greg Fischer has made the efforts to reach out to all parts of Jefferson County, creating a feeling of inclusiveness that others have failed to do. This inclusiveness, this leadership, is how he has earned my unwavering support." -Michael Bowman, Valley Station

"As a lifelong Louisvillian and a community advocate, I have found that my passion and love for my city is equally matched in Greg Fischer. He's not self-serving. He leads with good intentions, assembles effective teams, and motivates them to find appropriate and valuable solutions. Our city needs his leadership." -Nicole Candler, Pleasure Ridge Park

"Greg is Louisville-made. He appreciates the qualities, opportunities, and character that make each and every neighborhood of our city unique. I'm confident that as our mayor, Greg will give a voice to those who advocate for a better Louisville." -Carla Sue Broecker, Goose Creek

"We have a great opportunity in Greg Fischer to elect someone who brings all the best qualities to our city. He is experienced in the business world and job creation, he understands the critical importance of education, the responsibility for the city to help assure social services are given priority, and finally that Justice and Human Relations are critical to a city's success." -Marie Abrams, Prospect

"As we begin the next decade in Louisville we need a Mayor who has created jobs and investment opportunities in our community in the past and for our future. We also need a person who recognizes and believes in diversity and acceptance, Greg Fischer is the person who represents these qualities and is why he should be elected our next Mayor of Louisville." - Drew Shryock, Deer Park

"I'm genuinely convinced Greg has a big heart for Louisville's diverse cultures. Based on his previous business experience, he fully understands the importance of these groups to Greater Louisville. Also, he values his family and that is important. He is the type of mayor our river city needs." -John Suh, Hunting Creek

"I met Greg during his campaign for the U. S. Senate. Since that time, he has remained engaged in the affairs of the community. In our talks, he expresses a genuine concern in my interests in moving our city forward. He is not a professional politician; rather he's a compassionate public servant seeking to connect people to opportunity, irrespective of their race, gender, class, religion, or zip code. Greg wants to ensure a better Louisville for everyone." -John Mark Eberhardt, Highview
