TL;DR

Democrat Emily Gregory defeated Republican Jon Maples 51% to 49% in a March 25, 2026 special election for Florida’s 87th House district, flipping a seat that includes Mar-a-Lago from Republicans to Democrats. The race, the 10th GOP-held state legislative seat Democrats have flipped nationwide in Trump’s second term, was seen as a test of Democratic strength ahead of the 2026 midterms and came despite Trump’s endorsement of Maples.
