Democrat Emily Gregory is hoping to score an upset for a seat in the Florida state House representing President Donald Trump.
Emily Gregory, a small business owner and first time candidate for elected office, is looking to score an upset in a Florida special election on Tuesday to represent Mar-a-Lago in the state legislature.
Gregory is a Democrat running for state House District 87, which runs up the coast of southeast Florida and includes Palm Beach — where President Donald Trump's home and resort is located — South Palm Beach and Juno Beach.
"It is the kind of district that fits just kind of outside the bubble of what we've seen Democratic over-performance in these targeted races," Heather Williams, president of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee said in an interview with journalists from CNBC and MS Now.
