Randy Fine (born April 20, 1974) is an American Republican politician, and former gambling industry executive currently serving in the Florida Senate for the 19th district since 2024.

[18] In the state house, Fine advocated for protecting the environment of the Indian River Lagoon from sewage spills, and for opposing what he saw as wasteful, lower-priority spending.

[19] Fine introduced a bill in the House to provide up to $50 million per year in matching funds to upgrade sewage treatment facilities in the area of the marsh.

[22][23] The practice of spreading dried human feces as fertilizer on farms around the St. John's River has been linked to toxic algae blooms affecting Melbourne's drinking water supply.

"[26] There are multiple cases of Fine using "threats to pull or withhold state funding...to strike back at political rivals and retaliate over perceived slights.

"[27] These include the Brevard Zoo (2023), a Palm Bay Magnet High School firefighter academy (2022), and the West Melbourne Special Olympics (2021).

[29] In October 2024, Judge Blaue held Fine in contempt of court for making obscene gestures during his hearing over an election paperwork dispute.

[31] Many political commentators said that the potential dissolution was in retaliation for the Walt Disney Company announcing its opposition to the Parental Rights in Education Act, dubbed the "Don't Say Gay Bill" by its critics, that passed several weeks prior.

[37] Waltz announced his resignation from the U.S. House of Representatives effective January 20, 2025, triggering a special election in Florida's 6th congressional district.

[41] He had previously used this hashtag to call for violence in the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip and Lebanon,[42] and Haaretz in its reporting deemed the announcement a threat.

"[4] In May 2021, amid the ongoing crisis in Israel and Palestine, Fine made several derogatory posts and comments on his Facebook and Twitter pages regarding Palestinians, including a celebration of the Israeli army's bombing of the Gaza Strip.

He pledged to introduce a bill to ban Florida government entities from contracting with Irish, Norwegian, and Spanish companies, after the latter two countries also recognized Palestine.

"[54] Following the killing of Turkish-American citizen Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi by the Israel Defense Forces in September 2024, Fine tweeted "Throw rocks, get shot.

[57] In a press release, he called Palestine a "fictional country," referred to the Black Lives Matter movement as "pro-violence," and repeatedly promoted the LGBTQ grooming conspiracy theory, writing, "Supporters of Muslim terror, child mutilators, and groomers have no right to taxpayer sponsorship of their repugnant messages.

[60] Fine has repeatedly made unsubstantiated allegations that gay and lesbian people are "grooming" minors[61][non-primary source needed][62][63] and has publicly spoken in favor of "erasing"[64][65] the LGBT community.

Opponents of the bill note it would ban his own wife's "sultry performances"[68] at the Spring Forward for Autism gala, an event to benefit a children's charity.

[73] After the 2025 New Orleans truck attack, which was committed by an American-born convert to Islam, Fine called for non-citizen supporters of "Muslim terror," which he tied to pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses, to be deported.
