In addition to sponsoring Florida’s infamous Don’t Say Gay Act, the law that forbids instruction on LGBTQ+ issues in schools, he also wrote a bill to revoke Disney’s special tax district when the company publicly opposed his bigoted law.
While knocking on doors Sunday in advance of Tuesday's GOP primary, Fine rang the bell at one home, seemingly unaware he was being captured by the home's doorbell security camera. As Fine waited on the porch, he noticed the homeowner's mailbox, went over to it, and began to rifle through the contents, looking at each letter inside.
TMZ shared the footage on social media.
Fine’s office confirmed to TMZ that it was Fine seen on the home security camera video.
While it's an invasion of privacy and a violation of public trust, Fine didn't remove anything from the wall-mounted mailbox, nor did he put anything in it, so his actions failed to rise to the level of criminal activity according to a statement by the Ormond Beach Police Department.
According to a police spokesperson, the homeowner called the police to report a man she didn't know going through her mail. The woman was not home, but was watching the incident happen through her camera app.
She ultimately declined to press charges and the U.S. Postal Service cannot press charges based on Fine's actions.
Despite his office repeatedly verifying Fine was the man in the video, when asked by MS NOW reporter Alexander Tabet about the video on Tuesday, the man Trump has called a "MAGA warrior" pivoted to implying the video was fake and claiming he has no memory of doing what he was caught on camera doing.
People were outraged, but unsurprised given Fine's record.

This isn’t Fine's first time being caught on camera.
Fine was caught casting votes for other members in the Florida state legislature before he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. Some social media users misidentified the infraction as happening at a federal level.
The incident allegedly occurred during a legislative session regarding a bill to outlaw economic boycotts of Israel by the state of Florida. Florida has several pieces of legislation that prohibit state contracts, public investments, and cultural grants with educational institutions, nonprofits, local agencies, and foreign governments that enact boycotts or discriminatory academic policies against Israel.
Fine defeated his GOP challenger—a self-described antisemitic admirer of Adolf Hitler—in Tuesday's Republican primary. He'll next face Democratic businessman and veteran law enforcement officer Eric Yonce in November.
By senior year, the 23-year-old was close to achieving that dream—but graduation suddenly felt uncertain. With another semester ahead, Causey found herself staring at her syllabus and wondering whether she could afford to finish.
So she shared a video about her financial troubles on TikTok in January of 2025:
With more than 96,500 followers, Causey had built a sizable TikTok audience by sharing stories about college life, self-esteem, and relatable moments. And among those thousands watching was a very famous face: Rodrigo.
While the video about her money woes went viral, Causey was shocked when she received an unexpected birthday message from Rodrigo herself.
In a new video, she explained:
"Olivia first commented on my birthday video and wished me a happy birthday. That alone meant so much to me."

Causey shared the message she then received from the "Drivers License" singer, which started:
“Hi girl! I know you don’t know me, but I love your videos so much; you seem like the kindest, coolest gal and you are such a source of positivity and light in my life!”
But Rodrigo’s support didn’t stop at a birthday wish. She had also come across Causey's viral video—one that wasn’t asking for help, but letting other students who felt lonely, overwhelmed, or behind know they weren’t alone.
Rodrigo continued:
"I watched ur last vid about tuition and I'd love to help out if you were at all open to that? So cool that you are so close to graduating! Do you have a Venmo I could send to?"

Causey got candid about what she was facing:
"Then I made a video explaining how I was a first-generation student struggling to pay my final semester's tuition. I wasn't asking people to pay for it. I wasn't asking for pity. I was just being honest.”
With in-state undergraduate tuition at the University of Alabama costing $5,959 per semester, Causey was facing a significant bill near the finish line.
Causey recalled being stunned, her hands shaking as she processed Rodrigo's offer. The money mattered, but so did the fact that Rodrigo had noticed her.
In her recent TikTok explaining Rodrigo's good deed, Causey shared how she was understandably floored:
“I was in shock! It was surreal. She did not owe me anything, especially someone as normal as me. I actually texted my friend Skylar who loves her music thinking it was a scam page until I saw the blue check!”
Soon Rodrigo's promise became reality when someone reached out on behalf of the singer to figure out how to send Causey the funds for her tuition.

And to cap everything off, Rodrigo even checked to make sure that Causey received the money.

Causey then also gave a shoutout to other TikTokers and celebrities who made her feel "like I belonged here," including Paris Hilton, whose team offered to send Causey some official merch.

While Causey hasn’t heard from Rodrigo since sharing the story publicly, she hopes to someday meet the superstar and thank her face-to-face.

Once the University of Alabama graduate shared the story, social media had plenty of love for Rodrigo’s act of kindness—and for Causey's positive attitude and gratitude:

A representative for Rodrigo did not immediately respond to Today’s request for comment.
The sweet story comes as Rodrigo prepares to kick off The Unraveled Tour in September, with the global trek expanding to 86 dates amid high demand. The former High School Musical: The Musical: The Series star has become a global pop powerhouse, winning three Grammy Awards for her debut album, Sour, featuring hits "Drivers License," "Good 4 U," and "Deja Vu."
But for Causey, Rodrigo will always be the superstar who showed up when she needed it most.
