Candidates for Tampa Mayor and three City Council districts will be celebrating Tuesday night, win or lose.
While City Council races have been quiet, Tampa’s mayoral race has been anything but. The past six weeks of campaigning have been marked by one-sided negative ads blasting over cable airwaves and into voters’ mailboxes various criticisms from David Straz about his opponent, Jane Castor.
All of that stops after Tuesday’s runoff election when voters will decide who to put in Tampa City Hall to replace Bob Buckhorn.
Drinks will be had. Speeches will be given. Here’s where to catch the fun with your favorite Tampa candidates.
