won about 55% of the vote, according to unofficial results from the Jefferson County Clerk’s office. Precinct-level analysis shows he was carried to victory by cities and neighborhoods on the outer edges of Jefferson County. He was especially popular in the northeast of the county in places such as Anchorage and Norton Commons.Meanwhile, progressive challenger Shameka Parrish-Wright won areas in and around the urban core of Louisville stretching from Deer Park all the way northwest into Shawnee.Both candidates are Democrats, but due to a new state law, they faced each other in Louisville's first nonpartisan mayoral race.The geographic results were similar to how the candidates performed in a crowded primary where nearly a dozen candidates appeared on the ballot, but Parrish-Wright performed slightly better in West End neighborhoods in this contest.In absentee early votes, Greenberg had a strong lead with 41,482 votes to Parrish-Wright’s 27,968.The outcome highlights differences in values between more urban and suburban parts of the city as issues including data centers, policing and access to public transportation became top issues in the race.Jeff Yocum, JusAustin Lane and Dave Biggers also ran as write-in candidates. The Jefferson County Clerk is still manually counting write-in ballots, but there weren’t enough cast to affect the overall results.
