Guess:

One point of attack competing campaigns have yet to seize is Fischer’s relationship with longtime friend Joe Kelley, a registered Republican and president of Kelley Construction Inc.

Featured as a supporter on the Fischer campaign website, Kelley has been characterized by critics as a “union-buster” for turning his father’s company into a non-union workforce. Area labor leaders have called the outspoken businessman a union opponent due to his opposition of the Employee Free Choice Act of 2009.

Fischer denies speculation that Kelley has any advisory role in the campaign and says the Republican businessman’s $1,000 contribution is a sign he can bridge the gap between labor and business leaders.

“If you’re going to be successful as a mayor you have to have a big tent. I do not know Joe to be a bad individual. He’s a job creator,” says Fischer. “Joe Kelley speaks for himself and that’s not my position.”

Kelley says they disagree on a number of issues, but he supports Fischer because he’s the “best person for Louisville.”

Privately, Greg Fischer’s campaign staff are heated mad that a union buster is a featured supporter on their campaign website. Their point? You don’t feature someone so prominently unless they play heavily in your ideals and your candidacy.

Have the unions that have already endorsed Fischer (thanks to Larry Clark) jumped the gun? What happens when a candidate more suited to their tastes and support base enters the race? I can only think back to 2008 when organized labor overwhelmingly supported Bruce Lunsford over Fischer because of his union-busting past (See: Collective Bargaining troubles and other juicy bits).
