Anna Eskamani Announces Orlando Mayoral Campaign

State Representative Anna Eskamani has officially announced her candidacy for Mayor of Orlando in the 2027 election, aiming to succeed Buddy Dyer, who has served as mayor for over two decades and is not seeking re-election. Eskamani, a progressive Democrat and a vocal advocate for liberal policies, emphasized the need for a 'people-centered leader' to address pressing local issues such as homelessness, public safety, and small business support. She has received endorsements from key progressive figures, including U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost and state Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith. Eskamani's political career began in 2018, and she has consistently won re-election by significant margins, establishing herself as a prominent voice in Florida politics. Her campaign is focused on creating innovative solutions for the community and ensuring accountability and accessibility in local government. As Orlando continues to grow rapidly, Eskamani positions herself as a candidate ready to lead the city into its next chapter.
