I will walk through the data and show you exactly how we win by earning the trust of Democrats, NPAs, and Republicans who are tired of the MAGA politics of punishment.

This is where the work begins. I am all-in, and I need you with me.

Tourism is down, families face hunger, threats abroad rise, the government is shutdown, and health costs could jump. Congress should end the shutdown, boost the economy, and protect aid.

If you feel the same way please join our grassroots effort:

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.

When in Congress, I will repeal the four laws Trump and Steube use to sidestep the Constitution, end racial profiling in immigration enforcement, invest in schools (not prisons), stop foreign bailouts, and use those funds for health-insurance subsidies and SNAP.

What do tirades against Canada, racial-profiling immigration enforcement, and trade wars get Sarasota County? Economic contraction. Tourism is down as a direct result of rhetoric backed by our current representative.

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.

Judge by actions: 25,000 FL-17 households rely on SNAP, now at risk Nov 1 as USDA warns funds are dry.

Yet this admin and Rep. Steube backed $40B for Argentina.

That’s not America First. I’ll put our families first. Join us: www.spence2026.com

US Navy commander overseeing Venezuelan boat strikes steps down The announcement of Adm. Alvin Holsey's departure comes less than one year after he took over as commander of U.S. Southern Command.

Admiral Alvin Holsey stood up to unauthorized warsβ€”and paid the price. The President doesn’t get to declare war. In 2026, we need leaders who put American families first, not political party loyalty.

Charter expansions jeopardize Sarasota’s Wilkinson Elementary. Others could be next. More than 20 other county schools have steadily lost students for more than a decade.

Under a new state law, Mater Academy is expanding into Sarasota schools rent-freeβ€”while taxpayers foot the bill for their utilities, busing, and meals. Public funds should strengthen local schools, not subsidize private networks like Academica.

Second Autopsy Reveals Shocking New Details in Trey Reed Case | Black Girl Nerds The recent news surrounding the death of Trey Reed, a student at Delta State University, has reignited a broader conversation

Do you think this man hung himself? That is what the police told the family. The family didn't buy that story. Today, an independent autopsy said he had blunt force trauma to the back of his head. This story is unfolding and more details will come out.

@guardtheleaf.bsky.social The Canadian Boycott is having real impact down here in Florida. Direct Expenditures by tourist down 7.4% year over year in Charlotte County. I'm running for the US House to repeal the tariffs and end the trade war.

Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about β€œsafety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.

FBI conducts search at John Bolton’s home | CNN Politics The FBI conducted a court-authorized search at John Bolton’s home as part of a national security investigation, according to a person familiar with the matter.

This is what using the justice department of a weapon actually looks like. Performative or not, danger is coming.

This is just the beginning...
