This inclusiveness, this leadership, is how he has earned my unwavering support." - Michael Bowman, Valley Station
"As a lifelong Louisvillian and a community advocate, I have found that my passion and love for my city is equally matched in Greg Fischer. He's not self-serving. He leads with good intentions, assembles effective teams, and motivates them to find appropriate and valuable solutions. Our city needs his leadership." - Nicole Candler, Pleasure Ridge Park

"We have a great opportunity in Greg Fischer to elect someone who brings all the best qualities to our city. He is experienced in the business world and job creation, he understands the critical importance of education, the responsibility for the city to help assure social services are given priority, and finally that Justice and Human Relations are critical to a city's success." - Marie Abrams, Prospect
"As we begin the next decade in Louisville we need a Mayor who has created jobs and investment opportunities in our community in the past and for our future. We also need a person who recognizes and believes in diversity and acceptance, Greg Fischer is the person who represents these qualities and is why he should be elected our next Mayor of Louisville." - Drew Shryock, Deer Park

Also, he values his family and that is important. He is the type of mayor our river city needs." - John Suh, Hunting Creek
"I met Greg during his campaign for the U. S. Senate. Since that time, he has remained engaged in the affairs of the community. In our talks, he expresses a genuine concern in my interests in moving our city forward. He is not a professional politician; rather he's a compassionate public servant seeking to connect people to opportunity, irrespective of their race, gender, class, religion, or zip code. Greg wants to ensure a better Louisville for everyone." - John Mark Eberhardt, Highview
