Democrat Emily Gregory, whose upset Special Election victory last month helped to invigorate talk of a November blue wave, will be sworn in to her House District 87 seat Tuesday afternoon. Former Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice Barbara Pariente will officiate the 4 p.m. swearing-in ceremony, held in the Council Chambers of Palm Beach Gardens City Hall. He is one of two Republicans, along with Jonathan Rubin, now listed as candidates for the November General Election, when the HD 87 seat is again on the line. “I’m not done.”HD 87 — which runs up the coast through Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Juno Beach and Hypoluxo — had trended reliably Republican in recent cycles. He vacated the seat in August for an appointed job as Palm Beach County Clerk and Comptroller.
