A special statehouse election primary will be held Jan. 13 for the District 87 seat that was vacated when former state Rep. Mike Caruso resigned his position after being appointed Palm Beach County’s clerk of court and comptroller by Gov. Ron DeSantis.
The district includes most of Manalapan, eastern Lantana, plus South Palm Beach and points north to Juno Beach.
The state says the Jan. 13 election will have a Republican primary between Gretchen L. Miller Feng and Jon Maples, and a Democrat primary between Emily Gregory and Laura Levites.
The winners of the two primaries will face off in the special general election on March 24, two weeks after the county’s March 10 municipal elections.
Caruso replaced former Clerk of Courts Joseph Abruzzo, who was hired as county administrator by the County Commission.
