The race
Robert David MR II Cooper is running as a Democrat for the U.S. House in Florida’s 6th Congressional District. The contested general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026.
Ten candidates are listed in the race. Seven are Republicans, one is a Democrat and two have no party affiliation. Cooper is the only Democrat listed.
A candidate’s party label identifies how that person is listed in the race. The label alone does not establish what the candidate believes about specific issues. No documented policy positions are on file for any of the 10 candidates.

Background and campaign money
No biography is on file for any candidate in the race. That leaves the candidates’ personal histories, work experience, education and prior public service unlisted.
Campaign finance amounts also are not on file for any of the candidates. There are no listed totals for money raised, money spent or cash on hand. An amount that is not on file should not be read as zero; it means there is no figure listed for that category.
These categories can help voters distinguish between different parts of campaign finance. Money raised is the amount a campaign has received, money spent is the amount it has used, and cash on hand is the amount it retains at the time covered by a filing. No figures in those categories are listed for Audino, Baker, Bangdiwala, Cooper, Fine, Asensio, Furry, Gambaro, Bilzerian or Alcantara.
Policy positions and election date
No documented positions are on file for any candidate on issues before Congress. That includes Cooper and each of the other nine candidates in the district contest. Party affiliation should not be treated as a substitute for a candidate’s own stated position.
The next fixed milestone listed for this race is the Florida general election on Nov. 3, 2026. Before voting, voters can watch for changes to the candidate list and for the addition of biographies, campaign finance figures or documented issue positions.
