The Republican Jewish Coalition recently announced its endorsement of Randy Fine for Congress in Florida’s 6th Congressional District. This decision came after President-elect Donald Trump expressed his support for Fine in a post on the Truth Social platform over the weekend.
The endorsement follows the departure of Rep. Michael Waltz, who previously represented the 6th Congressional District of Florida. Waltz is stepping down from Congress to take on the role of national security adviser for Trump. This transition has resulted in a temporary reduction in the Republican majority in the House until Waltz's replacement is officially sworn in.
In their statement, the Republican Jewish Coalition praised Randy Fine for his dedication to serving his constituents and his distinguished tenure in the Florida legislature. Fine is recognized as a strong advocate for school choice, securing funding for places of worship, and a staunch supporter of the State of Israel. The coalition highlighted Fine's commitment to being a vocal opponent of antisemitism, both in Florida and nationwide.
Randy Fine's track record as a proactive legislator and his unwavering support for key issues important to the Jewish community were cited as key factors in the coalition's decision to endorse him for the upcoming congressional race. They believe that Fine will effectively represent the interests of the Jewish community in the House of Representatives and continue to champion important causes such as combating antisemitism and advocating for security funding for places of worship.
