On Wednesday, Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn (D) endorsed former police chief Jane Castor over philanthropist David Straz in the city’s April 23 mayoral runoff election. The two candidates advanced from a field of seven on March 5, with Castor leading Straz 48-15.

 

Buckhorn is term-limited and unable to run for re-election. Both Castor and Straz are registered Democrats, meaning partisan control of the city won’t change based on the result of the runoff.
