Allen Spence for Congress (FL-17)
@allenspence.bsky.social
I'm running for US House in FL's 17th District. Sarasota, Charlotte and portions of Lee County Florida. Please visit Spence2026.com.
I agree 100%
The idea that others are using unfair advantages to get ahead is a core element of both Trumpism and anti-immigration rhetoric. Letting rich people and businesses ostentatiously buy U.S. residency is as explicit a shortcut as you’ll find.

Opinion | Trump's "Gold Card" plan is a cynical immigration gimmick
Philip Bump: It’s tough to sell economic populism to the MAGA base when a million dollars lets you cut the immigration line in Trump’s America.

Rep. Steube chose to attack Democrats instead of demanding accountability for the drug boat strikes.

Greg Steube promised a manufacturing revolution with tariffs and all we got is a another Federal bailout. It's time to hold Greg Steube accountable for the bad policies he supports. He won't support Obamacare subsidies for the people but he supports policies that lead to government bailouts.

Where Did the Party of Limited Government Go?
Traditional (non-MAGA) Republicans in Sarasota, Charlotte, & Lee Counties: Look at this. The party of States' Rights is actively fighting to block state laws—including proposed ones right here in Florida—to impose a "ONE Rule Executive Order" from DC. .

Steube dismisses the healthcare crisis. That threatens the health and finances of 121,000 neighbors in Sarasota, Charlotte & Lee Counties.
FACT: 13% of our district relies on the ACA. I will vote to extend those subsidies.
I focus on economic stability & common sense, not MAGA political games.

❄️ ICE OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS.
ICE conducting enforcement outside Tice Elementary is an unacceptable abuse of resources and a trauma to our students. Our children deserve safe communities, not federal agencies terrorizing their walk to school.

This President has lost his mind, calling for lawmakers to be killed is out of line. All because the lawmakers want to remind troops to be loyal to the Constitution and not the President. It is time to visit the 25th Amendment.
This is the President of the United States threatening to kill members of Congress because they told our members of the military to refuse illegal orders from any commanding officers.

After talking with voters in Sarasota, Charlotte, and Lee, one question keeps coming up: Where is Rep. Greg Steube, and what is he doing to end the shutdown? The House hasn’t met since Sept 19; members were told to work in-district.

One thing I learned while working at a startup: look at data and make data-driven decisions.
Greg Steube is a career politician with no private-sector know-how. He’s enabling our district’s economic decline by letting Trump’s three T’s wreck our well-being: Tariffs, Trade Wars, and Tirades.
