FL-08: Jennifer Jenkins (D) to take on Randy Fine in Florida's 6th Congressional District race

Former Brevard County School Board member Jennifer Jenkins, who dropped out of the race for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate a week ago, announced Thursday that she is running for Congress in Florida’s 6th District against GOP incumbent Randy Fine.

It won’t be easy. The district, which encompasses parts of the Atlantic Coast in Northeast Florida, is reliably Republican, and was won by Mike Waltz in 2024 by 32 percentage points.

Fine won a special election for the seat last April by 14 points over Josh Weil — a result that cheered Democrats given that Donald Trump received roughly 65% of the vote in 2024.

In a video announcing her campaign, Jenkins notes her intense feud with Fine, which goes back to when Jenkins was elected to the Brevard County School Board in 2020 and Fine was serving in the Florida Legislature.
