Businessman Craig Greenberg s bid for Louisville mayor got a boost Friday when he scored the endorsement of Louisville Metro Council President David James, who recently suspended his own campaign and is now out of the election for good. The hardest part was getting out of the race, James said as he stood alongside his one-time rival that morning in downtown Louisville. But endorsing Craig was the easy part because we share the same values.
James backing is yet another boon for Greenberg, whose campaign has had a couple other reasons to celebrate lately.
He not only has James in his corner, but he also has the support of former Metro Councilwoman Barbara Sexton Smith, who was seen as a potential mayoral candidate but became Greenberg s campaign chair instead.
