Louisville, Ky. (October 15, 2024) – With in-person voting less than three weeks away, Greater Louisville Inc. released the results of its 2024 Metro Council General Election Candidate Survey.

13 of the 26 Metro Council seats are up for election; however several candidates are running unopposed following the primary election in May. As a nonpartisan organization, GLI does not endorse candidates. This survey serves as education on candidates’ positions on the business community’s priorities. All responses from the candidates are published verbatim and candidates were allowed a 100-word limit per question.

“Strong leadership at the local level is the foundation of a successful regional economy.  GLI engages with Metro Council on the business community’s top priorities throughout the year, and their collaboration is critical to addressing the most important issues facing our community” said Sarah Davasher-Wisdom, president and CEO of GLI. “We appreciate each of the candidates who took time to fill out this survey and share their thoughts on critical issues like transportation, community development, and talent attraction in the Greater Louisville area.”

The survey asked candidates about their positions on a variety of timely topics, such as:

• Plans to increase public safety and reduce crime
• Strategies to increase downtown development and economic growth throughout the city
• Tactics to attract and maintain top talent in the region

All Metro Council candidate responses are available here.
