Randy Fine for Congress

Mr. Randy Fine currently represents Florida’s 6th Congressional District, even though he does not live there. Many people, myself included, may not realize that U.S. representatives are not required to reside in the districts they serve. As a result, someone living in Miami with enough money and party support could run to represent voters in Pensacola.

In addition to not living in the district he claims to represent, Mr. Fine has introduced several bills and used political rhetoric that reflect anti-Islamic bias. While his personal religious beliefs are not the issue, his statements and actions suggest that his position is rooted more in religious prejudice than in policy. He has also shown a pattern of racist conduct in both his actions and public remarks. Mr. Fine is a staunch supporter of the MAGA movement and Mr. Trump’s far-right political agenda.

Mr. Fine has a record of troubling conduct. In April 2023, the Florida Commission on Ethics found probable cause that he violated ethics rules by threatening to withhold state funding over a personal dispute and by interfering with a council member’s public records request (Vasquez, Tyler, April 26, 2023, “Ethics commission finds probable cause against Randy Fine in dispute with West Melbourne,” Florida Today). In October 2024, County Judge Scott Blaue held Fine in contempt of court after he made an obscene gesture and a “loser” hand sign during a virtual hearing about an election paperwork dispute. Fine was ordered to complete an eight-hour anger management course (“Florida Lawmaker Ordered to Attend Anger Management Class by Judge He Is Trying to Impeach,” Latin Times, October 2, 2024. Archived from the original on May 22, 2025).

In 2020, Republican state Representative Tom Leek filed a complaint accusing Fine of unlawfully holding office in Florida. Leek argued that state law requires representatives to live in the districts they serve. Fine later rented an empty condominium in the district where he was registered to vote, prompting allegations of voter fraud (Burns, Robert, August 9, 2020, “Randy Fine’s wife voted today, but not for him,” The Space Coast Rocket. Archived from the original on November 5, 2025. Retrieved November 5, 2025).

Mr. Fine should not be re-elected to represent a district where he does not live and, therefore, does not truly represent. He is little more than a political operative backed by the Republican establishment to increase its influence in Congress.
