FL-HD91: Peggy Gossett-Seidman (R) aims to fend off better-funded challenger Jay Shooster (D) in HD 91

Two years after she flipped the long-blue seat representing House District 91 in Palm Beach County red, Rep. Peggy Gossett-Seidman faces Jay Shooster, a better-funded Democratic challenger who aims to make her a one-term lawmaker.

It could be a close contest.

HD 91 covers a southern portion of Palm Beach County including Boca Raton and parts of Highland Beach and West Boca. Previously a dependable Democratic stronghold, the district grew more conservative after redistricting in 2022.

Gossett-Seidman, 71, won that year by 3.5 percentage points on a red wave that delivered the district to Gov. Ron DeSantis by 9.2 points, according to MCI Maps.

Since then, the district has shifted even more rightward and today, Republicans account for 35% of the district’s voter base and Democrats make up 32%, with third- and no-party voters comprising the remainder.
