LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Metro Council President David James is stepping down from his leadership post.
During the majority caucus meeting Thursday afternoon, James announced he wouldn't run for another term.
He said it's time for someone else to step into the role.
He has served as president since 2018 and is currently on Mayor-elect Craig Greenberg's transition team.
"Part of leadership to me is that at some point you have to make the organization grow and help with that," James said. "So I will not be running for president next year. I want someone else to run for president next year to help our organization grow and cause change and movement."
Markus Winkler, the current majority caucus chair, was nominated as the next president.
Members will vote on the next president in late December.
