A Year in Action: Congressman Fine Secures Millions, Serves Thousands in First 365 Days in Congress

Position: Congressman Fine supports tax cuts for working families, veteran-owned small business contracting preferences, restrictions on welfare benefits for noncitizens, and infrastructure investment in his district.

One year ago today, Congressman Randy Fine was sworn in to serve the people of Florida’s Sixth Congressional District. In that short time, he has assembled an exceptional record of measurable results both in Washington and back home. Delivering Results Through Legislation Just hours after being sworn into office, Congressman Fine cast the deciding vote to pass the Working Families Tax Cut, delivering immediate relief for hardworking Americans. This landmark legislation secured real wins for families across Florida, including: Congressman Fine has been an active voice in advancing legislation focused on strengthening national security, supporting veterans, and promoting economic growth. Over the past year, he has sponsored 26 bills and cosponsored 143 pieces of legislation, with four bills already passing committee and now advancing to the House floor for a full vote. He is leading efforts through the Contract Our Veterans Act to ensure veteran-owned small businesses are on a fair playing field when competing for federal contracts with the Department of War. Additionally, Congressman Fine has championed the No Welfare for Noncitizens Act, legislation that would bar noncitizens from receiving federally funded welfare benefits—protecting taxpayer dollars and saving an estimated $177 billion. Perhaps most importantly, Congressman Fine has not missed a single vote, either in committee or on the House Floor, since being elected. He has served as Speaker Pro Tem of the U.S. House of Representatives 13 times, and has served as acting Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “It has been an honor to fight for the people of Florida’s 6th District in my first year in Congress,” said Congressman Fine. “From securing millions in funding for our communities, to cutting taxes for working families, to returning nearly $10 million to constituents, we are delivering real results. But there is more work to do, and I remain committed to fighting every day for the families, seniors, veterans, and small businesses that make our district strong." While significant progress has been made, Congressman Fine is continuing to fight for the future of Florida’s 6th District. He is currently advocating for more than $60 million in local project funding across all six counties in the district for FY 2027. These investments are focused on improving critical infrastructure, strengthening support for law enforcement and first responders, and protecting the district’s beaches and waterways for future generations. In addition, Congressman Fine is advancing forward-looking legislation to prepare the next generation for success by equipping students with the skills needed to compete in an AI-driven workforce, while also working to establish national standards to eliminate harmful “forever chemicals” from our waterways and environment—building on efforts already underway in Florida. Looking ahead, Congressman Fine remains committed to delivering results and ensuring that the needs of the hardworking families of Florida’s 6th District continue to be heard and addressed in Washington.

Congressman Fine and 24 Fellow House Republicans Demand Senate Pass the SAVE America Act

Position: Congressman Fine and 24 House Republicans are demanding the Senate pass the SAVE America Act, which requires proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. They pledge to vote against all Senate legislation except DHS funding until the bill is brought to a vote.

This morning, Congressman Fine sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader John Thune demanding immediate passage of the SAVE America Act. Congressman Fine joined fellow House Republicans in making a simple point clear: Enough is enough. Until the Senate takes up and passes the SAVE America Act, Congressman Fine and his 24 Republican colleagues are prepared to vote NO on any Senate legislation except DHS funding. The message is simple: securing America’s elections must come first. The American people deserve secure elections. Requiring proof of citizenship to vote is not controversial. It is common sense and ensures that only American citizens control the future of our nation. It has now been a month since the House of Representatives passed the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections and minimize fraudulent voting. Despite overwhelming bipartisan support for voter ID requirements (over 81%), the Senate has yet to bring this common-sense bill to the floor. “Continuing the same old kabuki shows is unacceptable, and the American people deserve better. Majority Leader John Thune can say whatever he wants about my colleagues and me holding the line, but we won’t tolerate Washington’s games any longer. Americans should be the only ones voting in American elections. My letter makes it crystal clear that we won’t stop until that becomes a reality.” - Congressman Randy Fine The SAVE America Act does three major things. Congressman Fine is committed to holding the line until Senate Republicans get their act together and pass the SAVE America Act to secure our elections. Cosigners on Congressman Fine’s letter include Reps. Andy Harris, Chip Roy, Keith Self, Michael Cloud, Josh Brecheen, Clay Higgins, Lauren Boebert, Byron Donalds, Andrew Clyde, Sheri Biggs, Scott Perry, Ralph Norman, Andy Ogles, Mark Harris, Eric Burlison, Mary Miller, Anna Paulina Luna, Andy Biggs, Cory Mills, Warren Davidson, Burgess Owens, Jimmy Patronis, Brandon Gill, and Russ Fulcher.

Congressman Fine Introduces Legislation to Protect Puppies From Sharia

Washington, DC - Congressman Randy Fine introduced the Protecting Puppies from Sharia Act. The bill was filed in response to comments from an advisor to Zohran Mamdani, the Mayor of New York City, who stated that because owning a dog as a pet violates Islamic law, it should be banned. As part of her comments, she said, “New York City is coming to Islam.” This legislation would prohibit federal funds from being provided to any state or local government that bans dogs as pets. Islamic law cannot be forced on the United States of America. It is the right of all Americans to own a dog. “In America, we will not allow anyone to tell us that we cannot have dogs. My bill protects Americans’ right to own a dog and would not allow federal funding to be given to any state or local government that bans them as Haram.There are 57 countries that are Sharia compliant; the United States will not be the 58th.”- Congressman Randy Fine “Given the choice between puppies and Sharia, I choose puppies every time. Our tax dollars should not fund any state that chooses to ban dogs as ‘haram.’ We cannot allow Sharia law to continue to infiltrate our communities, undermine our Constitution, and threaten our way of life. Enough is enough.” - Congressman Chip Roy “In America, we cherish dogs—loyal companions, beloved family, and yes, true gifts from God. Any foreign ideology that tries to strip Americans of our right to own dogs is not welcome here,” said Congressman Keith Self. “I am proud to cosponsor Congressman Randy Fine’s Protecting Puppies from Sharia Act. We love our dogs, but this isn't just about pets—it's the opening salvo against our way of life. First, they come for our dogs, then our daughters and wives, then they come for every freedom-loving American. Sharia has no place in America—keep your hands off our dogs and our liberties!” - Congressman Keith Self “Sharia Law is wholly incompatible with Western society. I am proud to cosponsor Rep. Fine’s bill that protects commonsense American rights.” - Congressman Brandon Gill Congressman Fine's original cosponsors include: Reps. Keith Self, Chip Roy, Andy Harris, Brandon Gill, Eli Crane, Mary Miller, Sheri Biggs, Mark Harris, and Andy Ogles. You can read the full text of Congressman Fine's legislation here.

Congressman Fine Introduces Legislation to Help Veteran Small Business Owners with Congressman Van Orden and U.S. Senator Sheehy

Position: Congressman Fine introduced legislation to establish federal contracting preferences for non-disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, placing them on equal footing with other designated small business categories in federal procurement.

Recently, Congressman Fine (FL-06) introduced the Contract Our Veterans Act of 2025, legislation aimed at establishing a federal contracting program for Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and ensuring they receive the same level of preference as other designated small business categories. For more than thirty five years, the federal government has maintained annual goals for small business participation in federal contracting. Congress requires that small businesses can receive no less than 23% of the total value of all contracts for each fiscal year. Some of these small business types include, Small Disadvantaged Businesses, Women-Owned Small Businesses, and Service-Disabled Small Businesses. There are currently no government-wide procurement goals or preferences that exist for non-disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. Congressman Fine’s legislation would place Veteran Owned Small Businesses on the same preference level as other small business categories by: “Our Veterans deserve to receive the same priority as other small business owners in the United States. My Contract Our Veterans Act of 2025 will allow Veteran Small Business Owners to be specifically eligible for certain contracts or set-aside opportunities. Let me be clear, the brave men and women who served our great country should be given the same economic opportunities as other designated small business groups. I look forward to working with my colleagues to get this bill across the finish line.” - Congressman Randy Fine “Veterans have served our country with honor. The Contract Our Veterans Act gives them a fair shot to succeed by expanding DoD contracting opportunities for veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This legislation is expected to create tens of thousands of new veteran-owned businesses, generate hundreds of thousands of jobs, and ensure veterans can continue serving our communities in meaningful ways.” - Congressman Derrick Van Orden Congressman Fine remains committed to working with members of both parties to bring this bill into fruition and ensure that the interests and economic opportunities of American Veterans are prioritized.

Congressman Fine Introduces the TSP Fiduciary Security Act of 2025 to Prevent Fund Investments and Votes That Harm the National Security of the United States

Position: Congressman Fine introduced legislation to prevent the Thrift Savings Plan (federal employees' retirement fund) from investing in countries of concern, particularly China, on national security grounds.

Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Fine (FL-06) introduced the TSP Fiduciary Security Act of 2025, legislation focused on preventing the TSP from being invested in Countries of Concern by incorporating national security interests into the fiduciary responsibilities of the management of the Thrift Savings Fund. The TSP serves as the 401k for all federal employees, including the US Armed Forces. Investing money in adversary nations, especially their military companies, only enhances the resources they need to not only compete with the United States, but develop weapons that can be used against our military. Congressman Fine’s legislation would put the United States’ national security first by: “It is in the United States’ best interest to prevent the TSP from being invested in countries of concern, such as China," said Congressman Randy Fine. "My bill would prevent excess funds from falling into the hands of our adversaries and stop them from being used to develop weapons that could be turned against the United States.” “Americans’ retirement dollars should never fall into the hands of Communist China, a self-declared enemy nation bent on destroying America and our way of life. Doing so puts Americans’ futures at risk," said Senator Rick Scott. "Our TSP Fiduciary Security Act builds on our work to ensure the hard-earned money that our federal workers invest in their retirement is kept out of enemies’ reach by further preventing the TSP from investing in companies based in Communist China." Congressman Fine remains committed to working with members of both parties to bring this bill into fruition and protect the interests of the American people.

Congressman Fine Introduces Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act to Strengthen U.S. National Security and Put Our Adversaries on Notice

Position: Congressman Fine advocates for legislation authorizing the President to annex or acquire Greenland as a U.S. territory and eventually admit it as a state, framing the action as necessary to counter Chinese and Russian influence in the Arctic and protect U.S. national security interests.

Washington, DC - Today, Congressman Fine (FL-06) introduced the Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act, landmark legislation focused on securing America’s strategic national security interests in the Arctic and countering the growing threats posed by China and Russia. As global competition intensifies in the Arctic, the United States cannot afford to allow adversarial powers to gain influence over one of the world’s most strategically important regions. “Greenland is not a distant outpost we can afford to ignore—it is a vital national security asset,” said Congressman Fine. “Whoever controls Greenland controls key Arctic shipping lanes and the security architecture protecting the United States. America cannot leave that future in the hands of regimes that despise our values and seek to undermine our security.” President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have made clear that the Arctic is rapidly emerging as a major arena of global power competition. Our enemies are currently on their heels, as we just took out one of their top allies, Nicolas Maduro, in Venezuela. China and Russia continue to aggressively expand their presence in the region, while years of weak policies under Joe Biden allowed America’s strategic position to erode. Restoring American strength requires decisive action. The Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act authorizes the President to take whatever steps necessary to annex or acquire Greenland as a territory of the United States. The legislation also requires the submission of a full report to Congress outlining the changes to federal law required to ultimately admit Greenland to become an official U.S. state. “For too long, American leadership stood by while our adversaries chipped away at our geopolitical dominance,” Congressman Fine continued. “My bill will protect our homeland, secure our economic future, and ensure that America—not China or Russia—sets the rules in the Arctic. That is what American leadership and strength look like.” You can read the full text of Congressman Fine's legislation here.

Congressman Fine Introduces the No Welfare for Non-Citizens Act

Position: Congressman Fine introduced legislation to eliminate federal welfare benefits eligibility for all non-citizens, arguing that taxpayer-funded benefits should be reserved for U.S. citizens and that current spending on non-citizen welfare is fiscally unsustainable.

Washington, DC - Today, Congressman Randy Fine introduced the No Welfare for Non-Citizens Act, legislation designed to end the massive and reckless transfer of federal taxpayer dollars to non-citizens while Americans are buried under record debt. The federal government is projected to spend $177 billion on welfare for noncitizens between 2024 to 2034. This cannot continue in our country while we're currently $38 trillion in debt. Congressman Fine understands that and is introducing this bill to end the left's runaway gravy train of freebies for non-citizens. “Americans are being robbed,” said Congressman Randy Fine. "Somalians, illegals, and even legal immigrants are getting free handouts at the expense of American taxpayers. That is insane, it is immoral, and it must stop.” "Hardworking Americans should not be paying for non-citizens' healthcare, free housing, food stamps, Medicaid, or anything else for that matter. Citizens come first. Period,” Fine continued. "My legislation will ensure that non-citizens don't receive any government benefits from the taxpayer. If you want free stuff, then you need to go home." The No Welfare for Non-Citizens Act delivers a clear and decisive fix by: 1. Ending eligibility for federal welfare benefits for all non-citizens. 2. Eliminating all loopholes and carve-outs that allow non-citizens to access taxpayer-funded welfare programs. “Taxpayer-funded benefits are for Americans, not the world. We cannot save this country while continuing to reward illegal immigration and subsidize non-citizens with borrowed money from our children.” Congressman Fine is calling on his colleagues to stand with American taxpayers and move swiftly to pass the No Welfare for Non-Citizens Act and send it to President Trump's desk.

Congressman Fine Introduces ERISA Litigation Reform Act to Strengthen Legal Standards and Protect Retirement Plans

Washington, DC - Last week, Congressman Randy Fine introduced the ERISA Litigation Reform Act, this legislation strengthens pleading standards for lawsuits brought under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The bill ensures that retirement plan fiduciaries, employers, and participants operate under a more predictable, fair, and efficient legal framework. The ERISA Litigation Reform Act clarifies the burden of proof in certain fiduciary-related claims and establishes a targeted stay of discovery during early stages of litigation. The targeted stay brings ERISA more in line with established federal court practices designed to deter frivolous lawsuits. “Frivolous class action lawsuits against ERISA plan sponsors and fiduciaries prey on a voluntary system that exists to provide retirement savings. A growing number of plaintiffs and lawyers are looking to exploit ERISA plan sponsors and fiduciaries for a quick payout, yet these lawsuits aren’t just an easy paycheck—every lawsuit strips dollars from an employer who is voluntarily maintaining a retirement plan for the benefit of employees. Solutions like Rep. Fine’s ERISA Litigation Reform Act protect the employers who provide for retirees and clarify standards to better understand when lawsuits have actual merit so fiduciaries can do their jobs: help retirees thrive.” - Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) “American workers deserve retirement plans that are well-run and well-protected, not drained by abusive litigation tactics,” said Congressman Randy Fine. “This bill strengthens fiduciary accountability while preventing meritless lawsuits from driving up plan costs and reducing workers’ retirement security.” Congressman Fine emphasized that this legislation strengthens retirement plan governance, reduces unnecessary legal costs, and protects the millions of Americans who rely on employer-sponsored plans for their financial future. The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce, which has jurisdiction over ERISA.

Congressman Fine Introduces the No Antisemitism in Education Act

Position: Congressman Fine advocates for federal legislation requiring schools to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism and treat antisemitic incidents with the same enforcement mechanisms applied to other forms of discrimination.

Washington, DC - Last week, Congressman Randy Fine introduced the No Antisemitism in Education Act, landmark legislation modeled directly on the bipartisan law he passed in Florida and built upon the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism, the global gold standard used by the U.S. State Department and every major Jewish organization. "Today, we are witnessing an explosion of antisemitism unlike anything in our lifetimes," Congressman Randy Fine said. "Nowhere is it more visible, or more dangerous, than on our college campuses. Higher education institutions have a responsibility to protect every student. And right now, too many are failing Jewish students. That needs to be stopped. No student in America should have to choose between getting an education and being safe because of who they are. Not one." Rep. Fine’s legislation does two powerful things: 1. Adopts the IHRA definition of antisemitism. 2. Requires schools to treat antisemitism the same way they treat racism. "For years, universities have built entire bureaucracies to police every form of bigotry except the one Jews actually face," Congressman Fine said. "If a student were targeted for their race or gender, we know exactly how a university would react. But when the victim is Jewish, we suddenly get committees, task forces, statements, and more often absolutely nothing. My bill ends that double standard. If you target a student because they are Jewish, it will be treated the same way as if you targeted them because they are Black, Hispanic, or Asian." "I passed this law in Florida because Jewish students were being targeted and no one was doing enough," Congressman Fine concluded. "Today, Jewish students across America face the same threat. I have a bill that works. Florida proves it. Now it’s time to extend those protections nationwide." Congressman Fine stands ready to work with members of both parties to bring it across the finish line.
