Craig Greenberg was born on August 22, 1973, in Commack, New York, and moved with his family to Louisville, Kentucky, in 1980, where he finished his schooling at Ballard High School. At the University of Michigan he was student government president and earned a Bachelor of Science in 1995, and he completed a Juris Doctor at Harvard Law School in 1998. He started his legal career at the Louisville firm Frost Brown Todd, working on its ancillary business ventures.
In 2006 Greenberg joined art collectors Steve Wilson and Laura Lee Brown in co-founding the 21c Museum Hotels chain, becoming its president in 2012 and its chief executive in 2017 before stepping down in June 2020. His other roles included work on the Louisville Museum Plaza and Whiskey Row projects and a trusteeship at the University of Louisville. In January 2021 he and sports radio host Matt Jones acquired controlling ownership of Ohio Valley Wrestling.
Greenberg declared his candidacy for mayor in April 2021 to succeed the term-limited Greg Fischer, with a platform built on public safety, housing affordability, pre-K for all children and action against illegal guns.
On February 14, 2022, during the campaign, a gunman fired several shots at him in his campaign headquarters; a bullet passed through his clothing and he was unhurt.
He won the eight-candidate Democratic primary in May 2022 by a margin of 20 percentage points and defeated Republican Bill Dieruf by five points on November 8; in 2023 he became the consolidated city-county's third mayor.
Greenberg launched his reelection campaign at an October 2025 rally, where he set out priorities including public safety, housing affordability, schools and economic growth, and was endorsed by Governor Andy Beshear.
Under a 2024 state law, the 2026 contest is Louisville's first mayoral election held on a nonpartisan basis.
In the May 19 primary he placed first, receiving over 52% in unofficial results, and he faces Louisville Metro councilor Shameka L. Parrish-Wright, also a Democrat, in the November 3 general election.
