The incumbent is Republican Randy Fine, who assumed office on April 2, 2025 after winning the special election that occurred after Mike Waltz resigned to become U.S. National Security Advisor. Fine was elected with 56.6% of the vote.

Fine's anti-Palestinian and Islamophobic comments on Twitter regarding the Gaza war have sparked controversy and backlash, including condemnation from the American Jewish Committee. Combined with the fact that his primary residence is located in Melbourne Beach, well outside the boundaries of the 6th district, Fine has been seen as vulnerable to a primary challenger.
