(LOUISVILLE , Ky.) –Today, the Indiana/Kentucky Regional Council of Carpenters and Millwrights proudly endorsed Jim King for Metro Louisville Mayor. Representing over 16,500 hard working members, today’s endorsement is a strong show of support for Jim King and his leadership on standing up for working families.
“I’m proud of this endorsement and I am humbled by the show of support from the hard working men and women of the Carpenters and Millwrights Union. As Louisville’s next Mayor, I will always stand beside organized labor and those hard working people who need a voice at City Hall,” says Councilman King.
