Democratic candidate Emily Gregory is projected to win a special election on Tuesday evening for a Florida state House seat representing a district whose residents include President Donald Trump.
Gregory’s projected victory over Jon Maples, the Republican endorsed by Trump, would flip the District 87 seat from GOP control.
The district includes Trump’s club, Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, where he holds residency.
“I’m honored that the voters of District 87 have placed their trust in me,” Gregory said in a statement.
“Tonight’s result sends a clear message that people want Florida to move in a new direction, one where leaders focus on lowering costs and standing up for working families,” Gregory said.
“Floridians are being squeezed by rising housing costs, insurance rates, and everyday expenses, and that’s what this campaign has always been about: making Florida more affordable and making sure our state works for the people who live here,” she said.
