Allen Spence for Prosperity and Progress
Florida’s 17th District
I’m Allen Spence, and I’m running for Congress in Florida’s 17th District because I believe we need leaders focused on delivering real economic prosperity for our communities — and securing the long-term stability of our nation. That includes protecting and reforming Social Security and Medicare so they’re strong for the next generation and sustainable for the country.
Why am I running?
Why run?I'm running for Congress because the people of Florida's 17th Congressional District deserve a representative who fights for their economic well-being and stands against extreme agendas. Our district is facing unique challenges, and it's time for a leader who puts people over partisan politics.Here's why I'm running:Ending Harmful Tariffs: The tariffs imposed by Washington are directly hurting our local businesses and workers. As your representative, I will work to end these tariffs and bring economic relief to our district. Congress, not the President, has the constitutional power to levy tariffs, and it's time we reclaim that authority.Boosting Tourism, Not Undermining It: Do you work in the service or hospitality industry? The divisive rhetoric coming from Washington is scaring away tourists, and we're seeing a significant drop in visitors, especially from crucial partners like Canada. This directly impacts jobs and businesses in our district. I'll be a voice for common sense, working to restore our relationships with allies and bring visitors back to Florida.Protecting Our Future: I will oppose any efforts to sell off our National Parks or dismantle vital services like FEMA, which is crucial for our state's disaster response. I believe in strengthening, not gutting, programs that protect our communities and our natural treasures.Upholding American Values: We must never allow our government to cross lines like child separation, ignoring court orders, or undermining fundamental rights like habeas corpus. These actions go against everything America stands for.Fair Wages for Hard Work: The federal minimum wage hasn't been raised in over 15 years. It's time to ensure that hardworking Americans can earn a living wage that keeps pace with the cost of living.Standing Up to Aggression: We must unequivocally support our allies and hold those accountable who commit war crimes and aggression.Restoring Congressional Integrity: Congress is meant to be a check on executive power, not a rubber stamp. I will work to restore the balance of power and ensure that your voice is heard in Washington.Strengthening Social Security and Medicare: Unlike those who seek to cut or dismantle these vital programs, I have a plan to reform Social Security and Medicare for current and future generations. These aren't just programs; they're promises we've made to our seniors and a lifeline for many families.This campaign is about bringing prosperity back to our communities and ensuring a brighter future for all.Ready to help build a better future for Florida's 17th Congressional District?
