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, neither ended up challenging her. Instead, Iorio faced police captain Marion Serious Lewis and former Fire Department Chief Aria Ray Green, whom Iorio fired. Iorio ultimately won re-election in a landslide, winning 79 percent of the vote to Lewis's 12 percent and Green's 8 percent.
