Former police chief Jane Castor and philanthropist David Straz advanced past five other candidates in the March 5 general election for Tampa's open mayoral seat. Bob Buckhorn, Tampa's mayor, was term-limited and unable to run for re-election. Transportation and congestion relief were the major issues in this race.
Castor received 48 percent of the vote to Straz's 15 percent. Castor won 101 of the city's 103 precincts, while Straz won the other two.[1] The other five candidates were Harry Cohen, Dick Greco Jr., Topher Morrison, Mike Suarez, and Ed Turanchik.
As of Jan. 22, Straz raised $1.6 million while Castor raised $222,000. Turanchik raised $215,000.
Joe Henderson of Florida Politics noted that money, however, had played less of a role in previous mayoral elections. "In past campaigns to be Tampa Mayor, money hasn’t mattered as much as personal relationships, often forged years ago and strengthened over time," Henderson said.[2]
Castor had the most endorsements in the race, including the Tampa Bay Times, Tampa Bay Lightning Owner Jeff Vinik, and EMILY's List. Straz had endorsements from local unions such as the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and United Food and Commercial Workers. Councilman Mike Suarez received the endorsement of former governor and U.S. Sen. Bob Graham (D).
Mayoral elections in Tampa are officially nonpartisan, though candidates are typically members of a political party. Tampa's mayor is one of 18 Democratic mayorships up for election in 2019, while Republicans and independents each hold another four. No matter who wins the Tampa race, control of the city will not change partisan hands—FOX 13 said that all candidates identify as members of the Democratic Party.[3]

Believe in Tampa Tampa has made incredible progress over the past eight years under our current mayor and city council. Now we need a new leader who can keep that progress going and build upon it to help our city reach its true potential. Getting there will take someone with proven leadership skills who knows how to work collaboratively with other government leaders, as well as business leaders, to get things done. Someone who’s equally focused on the well-being of all neighborhoods and all residents of our great city. Believe in Harry to bring this future vision of Tampa to life because nobody will work harder and smarter to balance Tampa’s growth and better your quality of life. Believe in Better
|
” |
—Harry Cohen’s campaign website (2019)[33] |
Topher Morrison
Morrison's campaign website stated the following:
“ |
If you try to be all things to all people, you will end up being nothing to anyone. While grammatically questionable, the message is dead on. If you think of successful brands, they don’t try to appeal to everyone in the world, yet they have world-wide success. A city is no different. In fact, if you look at every city of influence you’ll discover that they are each typically known for one powerful concept.
There are so many different modes of transportation available for Tampa, I thought it might be easier if I break down some of the various types before I share my thoughts on the solutions: We are the only major city that doesn’t use its extensive network of waterways for transportation. That’s a disgrace. It sends a message to the world that we aren’t very innovative. Let’s change that. As mayor I would aim to fully utilize our waterways for transportation and mobility. I will forge partnerships with innovative companies who are exploring new technology for water vehicles so that we can effectively connect the communities across our beautiful bay.
“How will you attract big companies like Amazon to want to relocate to Tampa?” I get this question asked a lot, and I’m not sure that’s even the best move to try to get them here. Which would you rather have in our city? A big business like Amazon moving here, or a local small business growing into such power and scale that they compete with, or even overtake the size of companies like Amazon?
Nobody has ever been a child and written down a goal to one day grow up and live in affordable housing. “Affordable Housing” may sound nice, but the reality is, this typically equates to finding a forgotten part of our city, building the cheapest, and most institutionalized type of group housing project on the land, void of any landscaping, and then approving the bare minimum amount of funding to be able to say, “I did something.”
Innovation isn’t a box you check off and say, “Done!” And too many people confuse innovation with technology, thinking that if they focus on the latest gadgets that means they are innovative. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, new technologies are developed every day that aren’t particularly innovative. They are just copies of old tech with shinier boxes. Innovation is about making things better. And in the process, if you can use technology to enhance that innovation, then all the better for you. It’s important that we have a Mayor who understands this subtle distinction otherwise you will have someone in office who simply throws money toward hi-tech systems and gadgets without analyzing whether or not the technology will make the current system function better. A truly innovative Mayor will first seek to make something better, before throwing money toward building a brand new technology.
The single highest priority of the Mayor is ensuring the safety of his or her citizens. This starts with first-class police, fire, & rescue. Check! That doesn’t mean we can’t do better, and we will. And it can start by taking active steps to improve the relations between our police force and minorities. We shouldn’t settle for anything less than a 100% approval rating from the citizens of our great city. Impossible? Maybe. But worthy of pursuit? Definitely. Community outreach, subconscious bias sensitivity training, de-escalation training, and more police on feet and bikes over squad cars.
Homelessness absolutely can be solved. But it won’t happen if we continue to play partisan games and not listen to the other side. This is one of those situations where the right and the left are both half right, and half wrong. The moment we set aside our personal beliefs and examine the topic from an objective point of view, we can find a solution, and it can happen much faster than most would expect. The process is quite simple. Make it harder for the homeless to be homeless, and make it easier for the homeless to find homes.
If you’ve lived in Tampa for more than a decade and have paid any attention at all to how Hillsborough County and the City of Tampa get along, you’ll know that they don’t really get along at all. This has to stop. As your Mayor, I may not have control over the county commissioners, but I will have an impact. There is an influence of sorts, but without the proper leadership in office to bridge that gap between a typically Republican based county and a Democrat based city, that influence is almost nonexistent or even negative. [31] |

—Topher Morrison’s campaign website (2019)[34] |
David Straz
Straz's campaign website stated the following:
“ |
I am running for mayor because I love this city and I want to provide leadership and vision for the future. I have a lifetime of experience running high quality organizations at a high level. I want to apply all I’ve learned to improving the quality of life in every neighborhood. Here, you can read the positions I’ve taken on issues important to Tampa’s future.

—David Straz’s campaign website (2019)[35] |
Ed Turanchik
Turanchik's campaign website stated the following:
“ |
TAMPA GO PLAN Ed’s TAMPA GO PLAN will create congestion proof transit corridors connecting Tampa’s local neighborhoods to our major business centers NOW. Ed’s GO PLAN uses new transit technologies running on existing public streets, freight rail corridors, and waterways to create a seamless, affordable and convenient mobility system that serves most of Tampa. The goal is simple — to get us going again, around congestion, and on the road to sustainable growth and prosperity. Ed’s GO PLAN guarantees that $15 billion in new transportation revenues approved by voters will be spent wisely, on local projects to reduce congestion, keep us safe, and benefit Tampa and Hillsborough County taxpayers FIRST, not lobbyists, consultants and special interests. BUILDING A BETTER CITY Tampa needs robust business districts and fresh approaches to rebuilding our older commercial corridors, all supported by new and emerging transit options. Ed will promote new housing initiatives in conjunction with GO PLAN corridors, so growth doesn’t overcrowd our streets and people can get around without the need to use a car. Ed’s PLACES AND SPACES PLAN will make it easier for people to invest in new businesses in our older commercial corridors. Ed will promote a range of new housing initiatives to create more affordable home and rental options, and new programs to help lower income homeowners repair and improve their homes. LEADING IN INNOVATION Ed believes we must create a civic and economic environment that has innovation at its heart. We need to make it easy for people to invest in themselves and their businesses. Ed’s goal is for Tampa to be one of the best places in America where good ideas and the people behind them can succeed. Ed will establish an Office of Innovation and Public Private Partnerships to promote an innovation ecosystem that connects people with good ideas and the resources to pursue them. Ed wants to introduce innovation and creativity into the delivery of City services, so Tampa can provide better services with existing revenues. FISCAL PRUDENCE Ed believes that fiscal prudence is the foundation for a prosperous city. Ed will be careful with your tax dollars. As a County Commissioner, Ed did eight multi-billion budgets, each four times larger than the Tampa City budget, and cut property tax rates every year. Ed also is the only Mayoral candidate who consistently opposed extravagant transit projects. Ed forewarned about exploding municipal debt from a bad bond deal, warnings that went unheeded, and that debt will now cost taxpayers $17 million each year. And Ed is the only Mayoral candidate with the knowledge, experience and track record that you can rely upon to ensure that the new transportation tax dollars are spent wisely. He guarantees that these funds will be invested in projects that work, and that benefit everyone, and not spent on projects that benefit lobbyists, consultants and special interests. PROMOTING A DIVERSE COMMUNITY Our prosperity is best ensured by creating jobs and economic opportunity for everyone. Tampa needs to support the economic mobility of all of its citizens by removing barriers to progress that encumber too many. Diversity and inclusion will be a hallmark of Ed’s administration. Ed will restructure the City’s procurement programs to give small minority businesses and entrepreneurs to gain experience and better compete in the marketplace. Ed will also promote better urban housing, and better transit that serves our local neighborhoods. Ed will also make sure that our criminal justice system is fair and even-handed. AN EDUCATION MAYOR Schools are the foundation of neighborhoods. Tampa cannot prosper without good schools for everyone. Ed is committed to improving the quality of education in all of our neighborhoods. He understands the challenges that working families have in making ends meet while furthering the education of their children. Ed will work with the School Board, County, Florida legislature, neighborhoods, businesses, and community organizations to fashion public and private sector solutions to address these challenges. He knows that we must remove the turf and political barriers to help our students most in need. A VISIONARY MAYOR FOR OUR REGION Ed is the only candidate who has the vision, knowledge and experience to lead our City and the Tampa Bay Region into the 21st century. Ed knows that Tampa’s Mayor does more than lead our City — Tampa’s Mayor must lead our region. Ed is the only candidate with a 30-year track record as a visionary, regional leader. Ed introduced the first regional commuter rail plans and co-founded Tampa Bay Water that ended a generation of water wars. He led the Florida 2012 Olympic bid that knitted together Tampa, St. Petersburg and Orlando for the 2012 Olympic games bid and created a statewide coalition to fund high speed rail. He also introduced regional ferry service to Tampa Bay. Ed is the only candidate awarded the Tampa Bay Partnership’s and Central Florida Partnership’s top leadership awards. He also was awarded the Public Servant of the Year by 1000 Friends of Florida, the Local Public Official of the Year by Florida Audubon, and received the National Transportation Leadership Award by the National Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations.

Mayoral partisanship
Once mayors elected in 2019 assumed office, the mayors of 65 of the country's 100 largest cities were affiliated with the Democratic Party. Out of the 31 mayoral elections that were held in 2019 in the 100 largest cities, five partisan changes occurred. Democrats gained three mayorships: two previously held by Republicans and one previously held by an independent. Republicans won one office held by an unaffiliated mayor, and one office where the incumbent's partisan affiliation was unknown.
In the elections in Phoenix, Arizona and Wichita, Kansas, Democrats won seats with Republican incumbents. In Wichita, Democrat Brandon Whipple defeated Republican incumbent Jeff Longwell. In Raleigh, North Carolina, a Democrat won a seat previously held by an independent. In Aurora, Colorado, a Republican succeeded an unaffiliated mayor.
