Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer still has more than a year left in office but candidates are already lining up to replace him.
This week on the Access Louisville podcast we talk about some of the candidates in the race thus far, including Bill Dieruf, a Republican from Jeffersontown, who is set to announce his candidacy. Other candidates include Louisville Metro Councilman David James, former 21c Museum Hotels President and CEO Craig Greenberg, pastor and community organizer Timothy Findley Jr. and Shameka Parrish-Wright, a co-chair of the Kentucky Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression and manager of the Louisville Bail Project.
During the discussion we talk about some big issues that will face the new mayor; as well as traits we'd like to see from a new mayor.
After that we talk about the suspension of legendary trainer Bob Baffert from Churchill Downs tracks and what it means to horse racing in general. And lastly, we talk about coffee shop favorites, on the news that Heine Bros. is launching a new drive-thru only location.
