Democrat Emily Gregory narrowly won the special election for the district Tuesday night, The Associated Press projects. Trump carried the area in 2024.
Everything was redistricted in 2022 to attempt to keep a Republican majority. Not sure what District & election was that close, I’m not seeing it. Even if its purple there was an attmpt to gerrymander and this election broke it.
District 88 is Dem and it does appear they stole from that and attempted to route Palm Beach in to dilute it. It might be even more interesting of a win than I thought.
Good point. District 87 is smaller.
That said, the former GOP incumbent won by less than 40 votes. It’s a very purple district.
