The 2022 Louisville mayoral election was the sixth quadrennial Louisville Metro mayoral election, held on November 8, 2022. Incumbent Democratic mayor Greg Fischer is term-limited and cannot seek reelection to a fourth term in office.[1]
On February 14, 2022, mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg survived an assassination attempt.[2] The suspected assassin was a racial justice activist seen at George Floyd protests in 2020, but it is unclear if the attempted assassination was motivated by political beliefs.[3] Controversy ensued when the Louisville Community Bail Fund subsequently posted a $100,000 bond for his release.[4]
On May 17, 2022, the primary election was held. Greenberg and Republican Bill Dieruf won their respective primaries and advanced to the general election in November.[5] Greenberg defeated Dieruf in the election.
