         Background:
      
        
        District 5 encompasses East Tampa, parts of Ybor City, Seminole Heights, and the downtown and Channel District areas. The seat was vacated in June, following the untimely passing of Councilwoman Gwendolyn Henderson, who was elected to serve District 5 in 2023.
