Randy Fine

Randy Fine (born April 20, 1974) is an American Republican politician and businessman currently serving as the U.S. Representative for Florida's 6th congressional district. A third-generation Floridian born in Tucson, Arizona, Fine built a successful career as an entrepreneur, founding and operating companies in retail, technology, and hospitality before retiring at age 40.

Fine entered elective office in 2016, representing Florida's 53rd House district until 2022 and then the 33rd district through 2024, where he focused on conservative priorities including economic growth, education reform, and opposition to expansive government regulations. In 2024, he was elected to the Florida State Senate for District 19, serving briefly until a special election propelled him to federal office. Winning the April 1, 2025, special election for the vacancy in Florida's 6th district—endorsed by President Donald Trump—Fine was sworn into the 119th Congress on April 2, 2025, by Speaker Mike Johnson and assigned to the House Committees on Foreign Affairs and Education and the Workforce.

Randy Fine was born on April 20, 1974, in Tucson, Arizona, to a Jewish family. He spent the majority of his childhood in Lexington, Kentucky, after his family relocated there.

During his time in Kentucky, Fine experienced antisemitism as a Jewish child, including social exclusion from institutions like local country clubs.

Fine identifies as Jewish and has described himself as a "proud Jew," frequently invoking his heritage in public statements on Israel and antisemitism. He was born in Tucson, Arizona, but has recounted experiencing antisemitism during his upbringing in Kentucky, including derogatory nicknames like "Kentucky fried Jew" from peers, which he characterized as hostile rather than affectionate. Fine's advocacy for Jewish causes emphasizes unapologetic American Jewish identity aligned with Republican values, rejecting pressures to downplay his heritage. Fine retired from the private sector at age 40 to prioritize raising his two sons, Jacob and David, alongside his wife, Wendy. He has served as an active volunteer with the Boy Scouts of America, holding roles as Cubmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster. These positions involved leading youth in character-building programs focused on ethical decision-making and outdoor skills development.
