With Election Day less than three weeks away, the Democratic and Republican candidates for Louisville mayor are spending big on advertising and other get out the vote initiatives. And some groups outside Jefferson County are backing their runs, too.
From mid-September to mid-October, the Kentucky Registry of Finance’s most recent reporting period, Louisville’s mayoral candidates spent nearly $550,000. Republican Bill Dieruf accounted for just $73,000 of that spending, compared to Democrat Craig Greenberg’s $469,000.
