The 2007 Tampa mayoral election took place on March 6, 2007. Incumbent Mayor Pam Iorio, who was first elected in 2003, ran for re-election. Despite speculation that former Mayor Dick A. Greco or wealthy businessman John H. Sykes might challenge Iorio,[1] neither ended up challenging her.[2] Instead, Iorio faced police captain Marion Serious Lewis and former Fire Department Chief Aria Ray Green, whom Iorio fired.[3] Iorio ultimately won re-election in a landslide, winning 79 percent of the vote to Lewis's 12 percent and Green's 8 percent.
