Tampa City Council Special Election voting underway; runoff likely next month
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – Early voting is now underway to replace Tampa City Councilwoman Gwendolyn Henderson, who died in June.
There are 13 hopefuls on the ballot, and there is one man who is running as a write-in candidate.
Angela Birdsong is the president of the Hillsborough County Democratic Black Caucus.
“A lot of Republicans are thinking ‘hey, this is our chance to get in,’ but we are hoping the seat stays blue and Democratic,” Birdsong said.
