If only former mayors were voting in the upcoming municipal election, Fred Eisenberger would have the race wrapped up already.

Current interim Ward 3 councillor and former longtime mayor Bob Morrow threw his support behind Eisenberger according to a post the candidate made on Twitter Sunday afternoon.

Another former mayor, Larry Di Ianni, cheered the decision in his own tweet. He endorsed Eisenberger in April.

Di Ianni, who served as Hamilton's mayor from 2003 to 2006, lost to Eisenberger in the 2006 mayoral election.

Current mayor Bob Bratina beat out both Eisenberger and Di Ianni in the 2010 vote, with Di Ianni edging out Eisenberger by fewer than 1,500 votes to secure second place.

Morrow served as pre-amalgamation Hamilton mayor from 1982 to 2000.
