Díaz-Balart, Dean of the Florida Delegation, Welcomes GOP Representatives Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine to the 119th Congress

WASHINGTON, D.C.- Yesterday, Congressman Mario Díaz-Balart (FL-26), swore in Representatives Jimmy Patronis (FL-01) and Randy Fine (FL-06) to serve in the 119th Congress.

"As Dean of the Florida Delegation, the third-largest delegation in Congress, it is a pleasure to welcome both Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine to the U.S. House of Representatives.

"Their extensive experience in Tallahassee, having served in both the Florida House and Senate, combined with their strong conservative record on issues like expanding school choice, supporting first responders, veterans, and law enforcement, combatting antisemitism, and standing firmly with allies such as Israel, will be an asset to our Conference and in advancing President Donald J. Trump's agenda. Together, we will work to get our country back on track and make America great again," said Congressman Díaz-Balart.

Representative Patronis previously served as Florida's Chief Financial Officer and State Fire Marshal. He was a member of the Florida House of Representatives from 2006 to 2014.

Representative Fine previously served in the Florida Senate as the only Jewish Republican in the Florida Legislature. He earlier served in the Florida House of Representatives from 2016-2024.
