The 1992 Orlando mayoral election took place on September 1, 1992. Incumbent Mayor Bill Frederick declined to seek re-election to a fourth term. City Councilmember Glenda Hood ran to succeed Frederick and emerged as the frontrunner, with endorsements from both Frederick and Orange County Chairman Linda Chapin. She faced two little-known opponents: Dale Smith, a former city planner who ran for mayor three times before, and optometrist Jim Newslow. Hood defeated both in a landslide, winning her first term with 75 percent of the vote and becoming the first female Mayor of Orlando.
