Deep Dive

Randy Fine has represented Florida's 6th District, which runs from south of St. Augustine down the coast through Daytona Beach and inland to Palatka, DeLand and the edge of Ocala, since April 2025, when he won the special election to replace Michael Waltz. He was a Florida state representative and then a state senator for eight years before that, and he sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the House Education and Workforce Committee. He is seeking a full term on November 3, 2026 against Eric Yonce, the Democratic nominee, the Libertarian Andrew Parrott, Michael Gist, who has no party affiliation, and a write-in candidate.

He set out his position on the aid itself in an interview with Jewish Insider published on September 2, 2026. He said the reason the government of Israel might want to end the aid is that taking it gives the United States leverage over Israel, and that the America First position is to continue to give that aid because the relationship lets the two countries improve weapons systems and share intelligence. In the same interview he said it is in Israel's best interest to stop taking the aid, and that he does not know it is in America's best interest. His own foreign policy page on the congressional site says, under the heading Stand with Israel, that as a proud Jewish American he fully supports the alliance with Israel in the fight against Hamas, Al Qaeda and all enemies of Western civilization. On June 2, 2025 he became a cosponsor of the United States-Israel Defense Partnership Act, a bill from Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina and Rep. Donald Norcross of New Jersey that would set up joint programs on countering unmanned systems and on emerging technology, extend the anti-tunnel and cooperative programs, extend the authority for the American war reserves stockpile held in Israel, and open a Defense Innovation Unit office there.

He has also spoken about the House vote in July 2026 on cutting this aid, which is shown as a recorded vote on this card. Talking to the Washington Examiner on July 16, 2026 about a disagreement with Vice President JD Vance, he pointed to that vote and said not a single Republican supported it, and that where the Republican Party stands on the relationship with Israel is very clear. Four days later he told Fox News that Democrats have been captured by crazies. Nothing was found in which he addresses United States humanitarian funding for Gaza, the aid pipeline, or the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, at any date; the one bill on his own page that sounds like it, the No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act, is about foreign support for the Taliban.

What he says about the war itself and about Muslims and Palestinians is a large part of his public record and is set out in his own words, with dates and links, on his research page. It includes the May 2025 Fox News interview in which he compared Gaza to Japan in the Second World War, his June 2025 clarification on CNN, his post about hunger in Gaza the day he was named to the Foreign Affairs Committee, the post about dogs and Muslims that brought calls for his censure in February 2026, and his August 2026 speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition, where he said the subject nobody would name was the elephant in the room: the rise of Islam in America. His bills and resolutions on antisemitism, including the resolution on the Boulder attack and the No Antisemitism in Education Act, are there too.

How this mark works

We track key votes on sending U.S. weapons and money to the government of Israel. A check means every tracked vote they cast came down against sending more, on the side of peace and de-escalation. A question mark means a mixed record: they sided with sending up to half of the time. An X means they voted to send more weapons and money in over half of their tracked votes, even as the way those weapons and dollars were being used became more and more obvious. At exactly half, money this election cycle from a lobbying group we track, or an endorsement from a group that backs sending weapons, makes it an X. Only votes actually cast are counted. Where a candidate has no recorded votes on these bills, the mark comes instead from a reviewed reading of their public record (money from the lobbying groups we track, endorsements, and their own words since January 26, 2024). There an X also covers fully backing the conduct of the war by the government of Israel without significant reservations, and a question mark also covers speaking about Israel without saying clearly where they stand on U.S. weapons and funding. A dash means No Position Found: we found nothing in their own words about Israel, Gaza or the war.

See a dash? Ask the candidate where they stand, then send us their answer and we'll review it and update the mark. Or volunteer to help review candidates.

Voted to send weapons or funding in more than half of their recorded tracked votes. (Supported sending weapons or funding in 2 of 2 tracked votes.)

Research log

The notes behind this card: what we looked at, what we found, and where each item came from.

Our research for this card began with a search run on 2026-09-07, and every page below was opened and read on 2026-09-08 unless the entry says otherwise. His congressional newsroom was read in full, both the press release listing back to January 2025 and the In the News listing, along with all eight of his issue pages and his campaign site. Bands: Position (2024-01-26 onward), Reaction window (2023-10-07 to 2024-01-25), Earlier record (before 2023-10-07), Undated. He took office in April 2025, so none of the material found falls in the reaction window and none of the House votes before that date are his. His recorded House votes and the tracked funding totals are shown as badges on this card and are not restated here.

U.S. military aid and weapons to the government of Israel

  • [Position, 2026-09-02] Jewish Insider's interview with him at the Republican Jewish Coalition summit, by Marc Rod. On the aid: "If you’re Israel you want to end that aid and the reason is because giving that aid to Israel gives the United States real leverage over the State of Israel," and "The America First position, which is we like to have our tentacles into the world, is to continue to give that aid." The article records that he said if Israel did not want the aid it would reject it, and that maintaining the relationship is good for the United States because it allows opportunities to improve weapons systems and share intelligence. He continued: "We get so much out of that $3.8 billion [in annual U.S. military assistance to Israel] than we give by doing it, and the same people who obsess about this $3.8 billion don’t obsess about the $380 billion that we waste every year on other things," and then, "I think it’s in Israel’s best interest to stop taking the aid. I don’t know that it’s in America’s best interest." The bracketed words are the outlet's.
  • [Position, read 2026-09-08; page undated] His foreign policy issue page on the congressional site, headed "Strengthen our Global Position & Stop Terrorism". Under "Stand with Israel" it reads: "As a proud Jewish American, I fully support our alliance with Israel in the fight against Hamas, Al Qaeda, and all enemies of Western civilization." The same page lists, among bills he has introduced or cosponsored, H.R.1229 the United States-Israel Defense Partnership Act of 2025, H.R.902 the RECOGNIZING Judea and Samaria Act, H.R.260 the No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act, H.R.4097 to designate the Council on American-Islamic Relations a terrorist organization, H.Res.472 on the Boulder attack, H.R.3282 the Preventing Antisemitic Harassment on Campus Act, H.R.4397 the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act, and two Iran sanctions bills. The page carries no date, so it is recorded on the date we read it.
  • [Position, 2025-06-02] GovTrack's cosponsor record for H.R. 1229, the United States-Israel Defense Partnership Act of 2025 lists "Fine, Randall “Randy” [R-FL6, 2025-2026]" joining on June 2, 2025. The bill's own text was introduced on February 12, 2025 by Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina with Rep. Donald Norcross of New Jersey. It states as the sense of Congress that the two countries "must expand their defense partnership to develop new technologies and leverage the unique capabilities offered by defense industrial base of each country", and it would establish a United States-Israel Counter-Unmanned Systems Program and an emerging technology capabilities initiative, extend and modify the anti-tunnel and cooperative programs, extend the war reserves stockpile authority, establish a Defense Innovation Unit office in Israel, address the national technology industrial base, and require an assessment of integrated air and missile defense in the region.
  • [Position, 2026-07-16] The Washington Examiner's interview about his disagreement with Vice President JD Vance, by its White House reporters. Pointing to the House vote of the previous day on the amendment to end this aid, he said: "I think it shows that JD Vance isn’t in line with where Republicans are on the issue," and then, "Not a single Republican supported it. We can’t get unanimity for anything, but on this issue, unanimous. So where the Republican Party is on the relationship with Israel is very, very clear." The same piece records that he said he did not oppose the President's Iran memorandum of understanding, that he was "very troubled" by the Vice President's remarks on a podcast about Israeli officials and Iran diplomacy, and that on June 19 he had posted "ABJD2028". The Iran material is not on the card.
  • [Position, 2026-07-20] Fox News's reporter's notebook on the vote, which quotes him among Republicans concerned about the shift on the Democratic side: "I think they’ve been captured by crazies. You can see it in their elections by people who hate Jews." Said Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla. The sentence is quoted here as the page prints it.
  • [Position, 2026-05-12] The Jerusalem Post's notice of his appearance at its annual conference, which says that "As a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Fine has stressed the need for the United States to continue supplying weapons to Israel, particularly as the Jewish state faces growing regional threats" and that "He has also publicly questioned why the United States would provide weapons to countries viewed as hostile to Israel." Those are the newspaper's words about him, not his own, so they are recorded here and are not on the card.
  • [Position, 2025-07-23] His statement on joining the House Foreign Affairs Committee, carried by Florida Politics: "With more than two decades of international business experience across nearly every continent, I bring a unique, real-world perspective to the global challenges our country faces. In this new role, I’m ready to advance President Trump’s America First vision to defend our allies, confront our enemies, and ensure that U.S. foreign policy puts American interests first." The statement names no country. His own newsroom carries no release about the appointment.
  • His congressional newsroom carries nothing at all on this subject. The press release listing runs from January 3, 2025 to August 7, 2026 and the In the News listing from January 3, 2025 to June 15, 2026; neither contains a statement about arms transfers, security assistance, Foreign Military Financing, the annual memorandum of understanding, or either of the recorded votes on this card. The Foundation for Middle East Peace's compilation of members on the record about the July 15, 2026 House vote does not name him; every member it lists is a Democrat.

U.S. aid to Palestinians

  • Nothing located, at any date. No statement by him about Gaza humanitarian funding, about the aid pipeline into Gaza, or about the United Nations Relief and Works Agency was found in his newsroom, on his issue pages, on his campaign site, or in the coverage read for this card.
  • [Position, 2025-06-12] GovTrack's cosponsor record for H.R. 260, the No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act lists him joining on June 12, 2025. His own foreign policy page lists the bill, and the title reads as though it were about Palestinian assistance, so it was checked: the bill's text, introduced by Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee on January 9, 2025, is entirely about financial or material support to the Taliban and requires a State Department strategy on countries and organizations that provide it. It says nothing about Palestinians.

Characterization of the conflict

  • [Position, 2025-05-22] His Fox News interview after two Israeli embassy staff were killed in Washington. Sludge's report quotes him: "We did not negotiate a surrender with the Nazis. We did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese. We nuked the Japanese twice in order to get unconditional surrender," and "That needs to be the same here." A petition page hosted on Action Network by the group Freedom Forward, which campaigns against United States support for authoritarian governments, gives the passage at greater length: "In World War II, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Nazis. We did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese. We nuked the Japanese twice in order to get unconditional surrender. That needs to be the same here. There is something deeply deeply wrong with this culture, and it needs to be defeated." Middle East Eye reports the same interview and says he was asked whether the shooting should affect ceasefire talks. His own Wikipedia entry records that he later said the comparison was about complete and total surrender rather than the use of nuclear weapons. The interview itself was not read here and the wording differs slightly between the reports, so it is recorded rather than quoted on the card.
  • [Position, 2025-06-16] The Action Network page above also records his interview with the CNN anchor Sara Sidner three weeks later, quoting him as saying "Nuking Gaza would be a terrible idea. The fallout would drift into Israel. It would kill the hostages," and, asked about harm to civilians, "I think war is a messy thing, and I think that when you defeat evil, you have to do what is necessary to do it." The broadcast was not read here.
  • [Position, 2025-07-22] Truthout's report, published July 23, 2025, says that on the morning he was named to the House Foreign Affairs Committee he responded on social media to a report that fifteen people in Gaza, four of them children, had died of famine in a single day, with the words "Release the hostages. Until then, starve away" Sludge reports the same words as hashtags used on May 2, 2025 in response to images of starving Palestinian children, and The Jerusalem Post refers back to him saying Gazans should "starve away" until the hostages were released. The post itself needs a reader who can open the account, so nothing is quoted from it on the card.
  • [Position, 2026-07-05] Al Jazeera English's video page is captioned "US Congressman Randy Fine claims “there is no such thing as Palestinian”, on interview show The Next Generation." Only the caption could be read; the video needs a signed-in reader, and nothing from it is on the card.
  • [Position, before 2026-02-15] Middle East Eye reports that before the post about dogs and Muslims he had written that "Palestinian is a synonym for evil". The post itself was not read here.
  • [Position, 2024-09] Middle East Eye also reports that in September 2024, while he was a state senator, he responded to the killing of Aysenur Eygi, a Turkish-American activist shot by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank, with a post reading "Throw rocks, get shot. One less #MuslimTerrorist. #FireAway". The post was not read here.
  • [Position, 2025-06-25] His own newsroom's item that he introduced a bill to designate the Council on American-Islamic Relations a foreign terrorist organization, dated June 25, 2025: "The legislation directs the Department of State to investigate assigning the designation."

Israel-related rhetoric and lobbying

  • [Position, 2026-08-30] The Jerusalem Post's report of his speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition's annual summit, written by Joseph Strauss for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency and published August 31, 2026. He addressed what he said was "the elephant in the room: the rise of Islam in America" and said, to applause, "We are constantly told that the problem is not mainstream Islam, but radical Islamism. But where are the so-called moderate Muslims in our political system?" Afterwards he told reporters: "The fact that not all Muslims are bad does not mean that no Muslims are bad," and "People are unwilling to have that discussion, and if we don’t have it we’re going to have real problems in this country." The article says he won his primary with endorsements from the Republican Jewish Coalition, President Donald Trump and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which lobbies for close United States-Israel ties. It also reports that about an hour before speaking he posted a video of the Governor of New York wearing a hijab at a mosque with the caption "This is what surrendering to Mainstream Islam looks like." One detail in the piece is inconsistent: the text places the dinner at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas while a photograph caption places it in Manhattan. Jewish Insider's account of the same weekend is datelined Las Vegas.
  • [Position, 2026-02-15] Middle East Eye, published February 17, 2026, reports that he posted on X: "If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one," in response to a post by an activist about dogs and Islam. It records calls for his censure or resignation from Rep. Ro Khanna, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Governor of California, and notes that he is a member of a caucus formed by Republican members in late 2025 on the subject of Sharia. All the quoted words in that article other than his own belong to other people.
  • [Position, 2025-06-10] Anadolu Agency's report that the Council on American-Islamic Relations designated him an "anti-Muslim extremist", citing "a pattern of violent, dehumanizing rhetoric toward Muslims and Palestinians". The organization is a Muslim American civil rights and advocacy group. The article quotes him arguing on X that "it is time for all 'Palestinian' organizations to be federally-designated terror organizations, including CAIR and 'Students for Justice in Palestine'." The words in the designation are the organization's, not his.
  • [Position, 2026-06-01] He spoke at The Jerusalem Post's annual conference in New York. The newspaper's notice of the appearance is above. The report of the speech our research pointed to is on a Canadian Jewish news site that could not be opened; its address is in the list below.
  • [Position, 2025-10-23] Sludge's article on the political action committees that have given to his campaign. Money is shown as a badge on this card and is not written into the prose here; the article is listed because it is where several of the dated statements above were first traced.
  • The tracked funding totals on this record are shown as badges on this card and are not restated here.

Safety and antisemitism (context, not an answer to what America sends)

  • [Position, 2025-06-06] His own release on the resolution he introduced with the Republican Study Committee condemning the attack on a march for the hostages in Boulder, Colorado. In it he said: "Antisemitic violence has reached crisis proportions in the United States. In the United States, in 2025, American Jews are in fear of their lives as they walk down the street, worried about being attacked just for being who they are." The release goes on to say that as a country we now have a choice, to call evil by its name or continue to pretend it does not exist. The release pairs the resolution with a call to secure the border and deport people who overstay visas, and it carries statements from Rep. August Pfluger, Rep. Lisa McClain, Rep. Mike Rogers and Rep. Randy Weber, none of which are his words.
  • [Position, 2025-11-24 and 2026] His own newsroom's item that he introduced the No Antisemitism in Education Act, "modeled directly on the bipartisan law he passed in Florida and built upon the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism". GovTrack's record for H.R. 8476, the No Antisemitism in Education Act of 2026 confirms he is its sponsor. The Combat Antisemitism Movement's summary, published September 3, 2026, describes the bill as requiring schools and universities that receive federal funds to treat antisemitic discrimination as rigorously as other forms of discrimination under Title VI, using the definition of antisemitism in Executive Order 13899.
  • [Position, 2026-08-11 and 2026-09-02] Our research reported that a campaign sign of his was defaced with a swastika before the primary, citing a television station's Facebook post that does not open. Jewish Insider carries the related material that could be read: he said an unregistered group spent millions attacking him without registering with the Federal Election Commission, that the money may have come from foreign sources, that "We cannot have millions of dollars of illegal, anonymous money pouring into our elections. It’s an existential threat to our country," and that he felt he was "taking the blows for the entire Jewish community." He offered no specific evidence of a foreign source, and the article records that no group by the name he gave is registered with the Commission.
  • [Position, 2025-07-22] GovTrack's record for H.R. 3282, the Preventing Antisemitic Harassment on Campus Act of 2025 and for H.R. 902, the RECOGNIZING Judea and Samaria Act, which he joined on July 22, 2025. The second is a bill from Rep. Claudia Tenney of New York about the terms used for the West Bank in United States documents. Neither is about what the United States sends.

The race

  • [Undated; read 2026-09-08] Ballotpedia: "Incumbent Randy Fine, Eric Yonce, Andrew Parrott, Michael Gist, and Alec Pavlik are running in the general election for U.S. House Florida District 6 on November 3, 2026." Andrew Parrott is the Libertarian nominee and advanced without a primary, Michael Gist has no party affiliation, and Alec Pavlik is a write-in candidate with no party affiliation. Fine defeated Daniel Bilzerian, Aaron Baker and Charles Gambaro in the Republican primary on August 18, 2026.
  • [Undated; read 2026-09-08] His campaign site lists eight priorities: insurance rates, Social Security and Medicare, honesty and transparency in government, the border, jobs and the economy, inflation, the right to life and the Second Amendment, and support for first responders. None of them is about Israel, Gaza, foreign aid or foreign policy of any kind. The site leads on endorsements from President Donald Trump and from Michael Waltz, whose seat he holds.
  • [Undated; read 2026-09-08] His iVoterGuide profile records "Did not answer" against every question on the form, including, under National Security, "Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?" A wall of unanswered questions is a fact about the guide, not about him. Ballotpedia records that he has not completed its Candidate Connection survey in 2026 or in any earlier year, and reproduces an eight-line list from his 2025 campaign site, none of it about foreign policy.

Places that could not be read, so nothing is claimed from them

  • The report of his June 1, 2026 speech to The Jerusalem Post conference on a Canadian Jewish news site, https://thej.ca/2026/06/02/congressman-randy-fine-calls-for-strength-and-resolve-against-rising-antisemitism/ , which could not be opened.
  • Two Facebook posts by news organizations that our research offered as sources for his own words: a Fox News post about his reaction to the July 2026 vote, https://www.facebook.com/FoxNews/posts/rep-randy-fine-reacted-after-house-democrats-split-over-an-amendment-that-would-/1484677483522109/ , and a local station's post about the defaced campaign sign, https://www.facebook.com/news6/posts/on-monday-us-congressman-randy-fines-office-reported-that-one-of-his-campaign-si/1499782048850517/ . Neither opens. The Fox News reporter's notebook, which does open, carries his words on the vote and is used instead.
  • His own accounts, where several of the statements above were first posted: https://x.com/RepFine , https://www.facebook.com/CongressmanRandyFine , https://www.instagram.com/repfine/ , https://rumble.com/c/RepRandyFine and https://www.youtube.com/@RepFine . They were not read here.
  • The Al Jazeera English video page above opened far enough to show its caption; the video itself needs a signed-in reader.

Not on the card, and why

  • His statements on Iran, including his account of the President's Iran memorandum of understanding in the Washington Examiner interview and the Iran sanctions bills listed on his own foreign policy page: Iran is a different question from what the United States sends to the government of Israel. They are above and in the source list.
  • The assessment of integrated air and missile defense in H.R. 1229: defensive systems are kept off the 50-word front. The provision is described in full above and the deep dive covers the rest of the bill.
  • The Jerusalem Post's own description of his positions on arms supply: those are the newspaper's words about him rather than his own, so they stay on this page.
  • The Fox News interview of May 22, 2025, the CNN interview of June 16, 2025, and the posts about hunger in Gaza, about dogs and Muslims, about Palestinians and about the killing in the West Bank: none of them is about United States weapons or money, and the interviews and posts themselves could not be read here, only the reports of them. They are above with their dates and the publications that reported them.
  • The designation by the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the calls for his censure: other people's words about him.
  • The money reported by Sludge, and the tracked funding totals: money is shown as a badge on this card.
  • Eric Yonce's, Michael Gist's and Andrew Parrott's records: they belong on their own cards.
  • The recorded votes: both are shown as badges on this card. He has spoken about the July 2026 vote and the deep dive carries what he said about it in his own words; he has published nothing about the other.
