Longtime Jeffersontown Mayor Bill Dieruf will launch a bid for mayor of Louisville next week, according to a Thursday news release.
Dieruf has served as mayor of the suburban Jefferson County city for three terms and also has been president of the Jefferson County and Kentucky leagues of cities.
At 2 p.m. June 9 at Jeffersontown s Veterans Memorial Park, he will offer details on his plans to bring successes in Jeffersontown during his tenure to the larger stage of Louisville Metro Government, the release said.
Dieruf previously told The Courier Journal he is a registered Republican. He will likely be a frontrunner for the GOP s nomination in the primary election next year.
