Comment on Gossett-Seidman wins reelection in House District 91 race in Palm Beach County

State Rep. Peggy Gossett-Seidman, R-Highland Beach, won a second term Tuesday in Florida’s House District 91 race. She defeated Democratic candidate Jay Shooster. District 91 represents a large swatch of southern Palm Beach County, including Boca Raton, Highland Beach and reaching farther west toward West Boca. In questionnaires provided to the South Florida Sun Sentinel’s Editorial Board, Gossett-Seidman said the three most important issues facing the legislative district are “inflation, traffic congestion and infrastructure failures, and property tax and property rental tax reform.” Gossett-Seidman, a past Highland Beach town commissioner and former sports writer turned PR pro, prevailed even though Shooster, an attorney, had raised more campaign funds. Gossett-Seidman narrowly won her first term in 2022.
