Mira Tanna has advanced to the upcoming runoff election for Orlando City Council District 3. Tanna has a long history of public service and community activism, currently serving as the city of Orlando’s grants manager, a position she has held since 2018. For over a decade, she’s also worked in the civil rights field, including as a fair lending manager at Community Legal Services of Mid-Florida, successfully challenging redlining practices and improving accessibility in housing. If elected to the City Council, Tanna plans to invest in the city’s public transit system and address Orlando’s affordable housing crisis by encouraging transit-oriented development. In addition to working to meet the state’s sustainability goal of building communities that are more walkable, bikeable and public transit-friendly, she has also committed to prioritizing climate adaptation planning, which will ensure Orlando’s neighborhoods are more resilient to natural disasters.
