The Winner

If you live in Florida's 6th U.S. House District, you will continue to be represented in Congress by Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL), who has been declared the winner of the 2026 congressional race, according to the Associated Press. ​

Fine took about 58.9% of the vote to about 39.9% for Democrat Eric Yonce, a margin of about 19 points, or about 63,014 votes, according to the state's official results as of Nov. 10 from the Florida Department of State, Division of Elections.

The win is based on the AP call, and the vote figures are preliminary: totals may change until the state certifies them. The seat stays in Republican hands.

The Race

Yonce, the Democratic opponent, reached the general election ballot by winning the Aug. 18 Democratic primary. Andrew Parrott, the Libertarian candidate, took about 1.1% of the vote, or about 3,729 votes. Cook Political Report rated the seat "Solid R" before the election, and Inside Elections rated it "Solid Republican."

Florida's 6th District has about 816,600 residents, according to geographic data. Median household income is about $64,600, and the median age is about 48. About 25.5% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher, the unemployment rate is about 4.8%, and about 13.7% of residents live below the poverty line. The district is about 72.6% white, about 13.2% Hispanic, about 11.1% Black, and about 1.6% Asian.

Ballotpedia describes the district's earlier boundaries as covering all of Bradford and Gilchrist counties and parts of Alachua, Clay and Duval counties. Florida adopted a new congressional map in 2026, so those lines may differ from the ones used on Nov. 3.

What's Next

Fine is set to take office on Jan. 3, 2027, a date set by the 20th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Fine said in a May 12 press release that he has made K-12 artificial intelligence literacy and teacher readiness a priority, introducing legislation to let schools use existing federal funds for AI instruction and training, according to the Office of U.S. Representative Randy Fine.
