On February 14, 2022, mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg survived an assassination attempt. The suspected assassin was a racial justice activist seen at George Floyd protests in 2020, but it is unclear if the attempted assassination was motivated by political beliefs. Controversy ensued when the Louisville Community Bail Fund subsequently posted a $100,000 bond for his release.

On May 17, 2022, the primary election was held. Greenberg and Republican Bill Dieruf won their respective primaries and advanced to the general election in November. Greenberg defeated Dieruf in the election.
