There is no single “mayor of Florida” because Florida is a state , not a city. Each city (and some counties) in Florida has its own mayor, elected separately.

Key point

  • If you are asking about a specific place, you’ll need to specify the city or county, for example:
    • Mayor of Miami
    • Mayor of Orlando
    • Mayor of Tampa
    • Mayor of Tallahassee (the state capital)

How mayors work in Florida

  • Florida is divided into many cities and counties, and each local government can have its own mayor as the head of the city or county government.
  • Some places have a “strong mayor” (more executive power), while others have a mostly ceremonial mayor chosen from the city council, depending on the city’s charter.

If you tell which city or county in Florida you mean, the exact current mayor can be identified.
