The result signals growing path for Democrats to compete and win in traditionally Republican districts, including those in the shadow of Donald Trump

Washington, DC –Following last night’s results in Florida House District 87, March On PAC is celebrating the victory of Democrat Emily Gregory, who successfully flipped a seat in a special election that had long been considered out of reach.

Gregory’s win comes after months of on-the-ground organizing and voter engagement in a district that overlaps with the area surrounding Mar-a-Lago and has historically leaned Republican. The result marks a significant breakthrough and reinforces a growing reality: when Democrats compete everywhere and invest in grassroots organizing, even the most unlikely districts can be brought into play.

As part of its 2026 strategy, March On PAC is prioritizing candidates who are building real grassroots power and proving that Democrats can compete in every district, including those that have historically leaned toward Trump and the GOP.

On the win, Andrea Pringle, President of March On PAC, stated, “Gregory’s victory is exactly what this moment demands and exactly what we believed was possible. She did the work, organizing her community, building coalitions, and refusing to accept that this district should be written off. Tonight’s result sends a clear message that no seat is out of reach when you invest in people and organize with purpose. This is how we begin to chip away at MAGA control, one district at a time. The path forward for Democrats is not retreat; it is expansion. It is competing everywhere, building power locally, and trusting that voters will respond to candidates who show up and fight for them. Emily Gregory proved that tonight.”

Florida House District 87, which includes parts of Palm Beach County and overlaps with the area surrounding Mar-a-Lago, had gone without representation for months and presented a rare opening for a people-powered victory. The narrow margin of the previous election underscored the real power of organizing.

March On PAC supported Gregory in the final stretch of the race with voter engagement efforts and national amplification, helping drive turnout and elevate the stakes of the election. Powered by grassroots donors across the country, March On PAC continues to invest in candidates who reflect the New American Majority and are prepared to lead with courage, credibility, and a clear commitment to working people.
