| Law and Government |
| Louisville Metro is governed by an executive dubbed
the Metro Mayor as well as a city legislature dubbed the Metro
Council. The first and current Metro Mayor is Jerry E. Abramson,
who also served three terms (13 years) as the Mayor of the old
City of Louisville. The Metro Council consists of 26 seats corresponding
to 26 districts apportioned by population throughout the city.
Half (13) of the seats come up for re-election every two years. |
| The Official Seal of the City of Louisville, no
longer used following the formation of a consolidated city-county
government in 2003, reflected its history and heritage in the
fleur-de-lis representing French aid given during the Revolutionary
War, and the thirteen stars signify the original colonies. It
was designed by legendary Austrian typographer Victor Hammer.
The new seal of the consolidated government retains the fleur-de-lis,
but has only two stars, one representing the city and the other
the county. |
| The third U.S. Congressional district is roughly
contiguous with Louisville Metro, and is currently represented
by Rep. Anne Northup, though small parts are in Kentucky's 2nd
and 4th districts. |
