When elected, Lisa Holliday Harris, your write-in candidate, will work every day to represent every resident of District 43 with integrity, transparency, and a commitment to improving opportunities.Why District 43?

District 43 deserves a representative who is accessible, accountable, and committed to listening to every constituent. Lisa Holliday Harris believes effective leadership begins with understanding why history matters. As of 2026, this district remains heavily democratic in voter registration. Available data show approximately 15.2 % are Republicans and 5.2% are independents, although registration numbers do not predict individual voting behavior. This history matters to this campaign since we have seen a growing number of supporters for socialism, which will raise significant concerns for residents. Voting for Lisa is your opportunity to choose a better option, one centered on this community and not a national agenda.One Voice. One District. One Future!

Public safety requires both accountability and prevention, which is important to our district's future. Place an active focus on securing careers in law enforcement, supporting victims, and making meaningful investments. Ensure programs are producing measurable results, look for waste and duplication, and prioritize essential services before considering additional financial burdens on residents. Lisa knows and understands the importance of backing legislation that works and protects communities. To win, we must aggressively combat any ideology that would cause gridlock in our policy-driven approaches and clear-cut legislative processes that will bring resources home to District 43 families.

Representation -vs- Results Representation is important because it changes who is in the room when decisions are made. Representation alone is not enough; results-driven leadership matters. What I want them to remember about my candidacy is that real leadership means making sure opportunity is not limited by zip code.Equity is not about favoritism; it's about fairness and opportunity. As mayor, I would focus on measurable improvements in housing access, business development, and workforce opportunities. We must examine how the city policies impact communities differently and correct policies that unintentionally create barriers.Policy and Public Safety - Public safety and accountability must exist together. Communities deserve protection, and they also deserve transparency and trust.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about moving Louisville from hardship into a stewardship model of Government Accountability & Fiscal Responsibility. Transparent auditing, spending, cutting waste, and transparent reporting are needed. Results - budgeting.

The Fix here is that every council member should be deeply involved. This will enable improvements in school performance.I have an issue when the Halls of Shawnee High School smell like Marijuana. You can not differentiate if it's a parent, staff, or a student who is under the influence and impaired.The Fix Disseminates the D.S.A agendaLouisville is entitled to its own culture. A Democratic Socialist agenda is not the fix for Louisville. It's a vague construct hidden in messages, for example, " We are for the working class". It is a machine that wants to enslave non-working-class residents and hard workers.DSA Grows when city government fails at everyday services.Metro Government TransparencyYou don't need permission to be heard.
