Emily Gregory elected as Donald Trump’s State Representative in special election for HD-87
Emily Gregory, a public health expert, delivered a major upset in the special election to flip Florida’s 87th State House District. Representative-elect Gregory is now Donald Trump’s state representative as House District 87 includes Palm Beach and Mar-a-Lago. In response, 314 Action President Shaughnessy Naughton released the following statement:
“Congratulations to Representative-elect Emily Gregory on her historic victory in Florida, flipping Trump’s home district from red to blue in one of the most competitive special elections in the nation. Democrats continue to overperform in special elections and as we head into the midterms, it’s clear that a STEM wave is coming.
“Emily won because Floridians trust her to make decisions based on evidence not ideology. She’s bringing science back to the State House and heading to the Capitol on a mission to lower costs, restore health care and bring down the temperature in Tallahassee. 314 Action Fund was proud to endorse Emily Gregory early in this race and we look forward to working with her in Florida’s Legislature.”
As a public and mental health expert, Emily Gregory is one of 314 Action’s Guardians of Public Health. She answered the call to serve her community as 314 Action works to elect 100 new doctors, nurses and health care professionals to office by 2030, raising and spending over $25 million in the effort.
