Louisville's Independent Choice

Jackie Green - Independent Mayoral Candidate, neither Democrat nor Republican

Louisville is not choosing a Democrat or a Republican mayor. Louisville is choosing a mayor with the best vision for meeting tomorrow’s challenges. We can plan for the coming changes or be overtaken by them. Yesterday’s vision will not meet tomorrow’s challenge. Louisville needs visionary leadership with a plan.

Louisville will meet the challenges of the twenty-first century by:

• correcting the basics of our local economy
• developing a low energy, a clean energy, diverse, strong economy
• supporting existing neighborhoods rather than building more peripheral neighborhoods (Louisville Loop - 21st Century Parks)
• protecting our local food economy by protecting local farms and fields
• distributing affordable housing in every school district
• investing in the education of our children, not in a fleet of school buses
• making our streets safe enough to walk and bicycle
