Jerry Edwin Abramson is a Democratic politician who is the 55th and current Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky. Abramson previously served as the longest serving Mayor of Louisville, serving as the only three-term mayor of the old city of Louisville and two terms as the first mayor of the consolidated city-county of Louisville Metro. Abramson's long period of service to Louisville as its mayor, as well as the fact that he never faced strong opposition in mayoral elections, led to the nickname of "mayor for life" being used locally, including by Louisville's own popular radio personality Terry Meiners. Abramson's popularity resulted in Bluegrass Poll approval ratings ranging from a 91 percent high in 1990 to a 73 percent low in 1994. From 1993 to 1994, he was President of the United States Conference of Mayors. He was a member of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition, an organization formed in 2006 and co-chaired by New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston mayor Thomas Menino. On July 19, 2009, Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear announced that Abramson would be running for Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky on his ticket in 2011.
