Dems target GOP stronghold in Mar-a-Lago
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
Democrats are targeting Florida House District 87, home to Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, as part of a broader state-level surge. The March 24 special election pits Democrat Emily Gregory, a public health expert and small business owner, against Republican Jon Maples, a Trump-endorsed financial adviser. The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee has flipped 28 state legislative seats since Trump's election, with zero Republican gains. Gregory is campaigning on affordability, housing, healthcare, and concerns about the Trump administration's immigration enforcement policies. Voters in the district expressed outrage over aggressive ICE operations and democracy concerns. The race's winner will participate in Florida's April special session on congressional redistricting. DLCC president Heather Williams emphasized Democrats are "winning in red communities," and "putting up a fight right in the president's backyard." Democrats view state-level victories as bellwethers for November midterms when they aim to reclaim House and Senate control.Watch the video below. Your browser does not support the video tag.
