The 2003 Tampa mayoral election took place on March 25, 2003, following a primary election on March 2, 2003. Incumbent Mayor Dick Greco was term limited and was barred from seeking a third consecutive term. A crowded race emerged to succeed Greco, with County Supervisor of Elections Pam Iorio emerging as the frontrunner. She placed first in the primary election by a wide margin, winning 46 percent of the vote, and advanced to the general election against Frank Sánchez, a former aide to President Bill Clinton, who narrowly beat out City Councilmember Bob Buckhorn for second place, 21–19 percent. In the general election, Iorio defeated Sánchez by a wide margin, winning 64 percent to Sánchez's 36 percent.
