Sloane, 45, pledged to work with Republicans to achieve common goals. A public health physician, he was elected mayor of Louisville in 1973 in his first try for public office.
Clark, 48, founded the Louisville-based Burger Queen fast-food restaurant chain. The mayoral race was his first campaign for public office.
