Democrat Emily Gregory wins special election for Florida legislative seat, flipping district
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Emily Gregory won a special election for a Florida state House seat on Tuesday, flipping a district that is home to President Donald Trump’s estate, Mar-a-Lago.
The Republican president endorsed Gregory’s rival, Jon Maples.
Republican Mike Caruso, who resigned from the seat to become Palm Beach County’s clerk, won the district by 19 percentage points in 2024. Trump won the district by about 10 percentage points in the 2024 presidential election.
