ORLANDO, Fla. — Democratic Florida Rep. Anna Eskamani announced that she will be running for mayor in Orlando in 2027.
She spoke Monday outside of Orlando City Hall, with supporters alongside her.
Orlando, this morning, I will be filing to run as your next Mayor. I am honored for the opportunity to lead our incredible City Beautiful into the future!
— Rep. Anna V. Eskamani, PhD 🔨 (@AnnaForFlorida) December 16, 2024
For press– we’ll be holding a media gaggle at 8:30am outside the steps of City Hall. Onward!
“We’re gonna be at a pivotal moment in 2027 with an empty seat, which is the first time in 20 some years that we’re gonna have an opportunity to write a next chapter for Orlando. My track record of kind sacrifice, ironclad values while delivering results and being accessible to the people of Orlando, make me the perfect leader for the job,” Eskamani said.
Orlando is expected to have a new mayor in 2027 for the first time in decades.
When current Mayor Buddy Dyer was re-elected last year, he said his sixth term would be his final one.
