The1984 Orlando mayoral election took place on September 4, 1984. Incumbent MayorBill Frederick ran for re-election to a second term. He faced two little-known opponents in the election: city planner Dale Smith, who had unsuccessfully run against Frederick in1980, and financial planner Tim Adams. TheOrlando Sentinel endorsed Frederick for re-election, noting that voters should have "no hesitation" in re-electing him, because he was "the only one of the three candidates who offers th[e] potential" to deal with the city's problems.[1] Frederick ultimately won re-election in a landslide, receiving 68 percent of the vote to Smith's 18 percent and Adams's 14 percent.[2]
