坦帕市议会第七选区席位将出缺 有意者可申请11月17日任命
佛罗里达州希尔斯伯勒县坦帕市的市议会第七选区席位即将出缺，现任议员路易斯·维埃拉将于11月2日午夜前辞职，转而竞选佛罗里达州众议院第67选区席位，该席位因众议院少数党领袖芬特里斯·德里斯克尔任期届满而空出。
按照市宪章，市议会须在席位空出后30天内任命接替人选，其余六名议员将于11月17日投票选出任命人选，永久接替人选则由选民在明年3月的市选举中选出。第七选区位于布希大道以北，涵盖森林山、特雷斯公园、大学广场直至新坦帕一带。
申请人须在坦帕市居住并登记为选民至少一年，且在第七选区居住至少六个月，并提交市政府正式申请表和不超过两页的简历。维埃拉已代表第七选区十年，他的辞职依据佛罗里达州的辞职参选法提交，市议会此次任命将是自2022年以来首次未经选举直接产生议员。
Tampa City Council District 7 Seat to Open; Interested Residents May Apply for the November 17 Appointment
The District 7 seat on the City Council of Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida, is about to open: incumbent Councilman Luis Viera will resign before midnight on November 2 to run for the Florida House District 67 seat, which is open because House Minority Leader Fentrice Driskell is term-limited.
Under the city charter, the council must appoint a replacement within 30 days of the seat becoming vacant; the remaining six members will vote on the appointee on November 17, and voters will elect a permanent replacement in the city election next March. District 7 lies north of Busch Boulevard and covers Forest Hills, Terrace Park and University Square through New Tampa.
Applicants must have lived in Tampa and been registered voters for at least one year, and have lived in District 7 for at least six months, and must submit the city's official application form and a resume of no more than two pages. Viera has represented District 7 for ten years; his resignation was filed under Florida's resign-to-run law, and this council appointment will be the first time since 2022 that a member is seated without an election.
