The 2025 Florida's 6th congressional district special election was held on April 1, 2025, to choose a new member of the U.S. House of Representatives. The seat became vacant following the resignation of Republican incumbent Mike Waltz, who in 2024 had been re-elected with 66.5% of the vote, but was chosen by President Donald Trump to be his White House national security advisor. The district is considered a safely Republican.
Florida state senator Randy Fine won the Republican primary with 83% of the vote, defeating Aaron Baker and Ehsan Joarder. Progressive Schoolteacher Josh Weil won the Democratic primary with 61%, defeating Ges Selmont. In the general election campaign, Weil outraised Fine by $10 million to under $1 million.
In the April 1 general election, Fine defeated Weil by 14 percentage points though he won by significantly less margins than Trump and Waltz had in the 2024 elections. The election was held alongside a concurrent special election for Florida's 1st congressional district.
