Florida Democratic Party and Palm Beach County Democratic Party Congratulate Emily Gregory on Winning State House Seat in Donald Trump’s Backyard

Tallahassee, FL — The Florida Democratic Party and the Palm Beach County Democratic Party have issued the following statement declaring victory in the race for House District 87:

“I’m thrilled to congratulate Representative-Elect Emily Gregory on this monumental victory. A nearly 11 point swing to the left in this hard fought race shows the impact of Democrats’ long-term investment in Florida, and now the people of HD 87 will have a champion in Tallahassee,” said FDP Chair Nikki Fried. 

“This victory reiterates an undeniable trend in Florida: with year round organizing and infrastructure investment, Democrats can run and win anywhere–including Donald Trump’s backyard. Floridians are tired of the chaos, corruption, and sky high prices on everything from groceries, to gas, and healthcare. They are voting for trusted leaders like Emily to steady the ship and return common sense, people-centered solutions back to our communities.”

Palm Beach County Democratic Party Chair Howard Richman added, “The Palm Beach County Democratic Party is thrilled that Emily Gregory has won a seat in the Florida House and will be representing her constituents in District 87.”

“This success was only possible through a seamless partnership between the Gregory campaign, the Florida Democratic Party, and the tireless local organizers of the PBC Democratic Party. We want to recognize the incredible dedication of our local volunteers: those of you who spent hundreds of hours knocking on doors, making calls, and mobilizing your neighbors were the true engine of this win. Together, we are sending Emily to Tallahassee to protect renters and homeowners, fix healthcare, and rebuild public education.
