He brings “over 20 years of experience in financial markets and fintech to the fight … His campaign centers on economic prosperity for all, reforming social security, and restoring Congress as a check on the Executive Branch.”He told us, “I’m running because I’m a patriot who believes we need to restore common sense and stability to our economy and our government.” We discussed the following issues, as described on www.Spence2026.com:A Direct Threat to Our Way of Life: Ending Tariff Taxes, The largest tax increase on Americans since the 1960s“I am committed to working in a bi-partisan manner to end these economically damaging tariffs and restore a sense of respect and partnership with our allies. We must rebuild our relationships with other nations not just for diplomacy's sake, but because our economic future depends on it. Each tax dollar not paid by a tourist is another tax dollar residents of Florida’s 17th district have to pay. We can bring prosperity back to our district, but it requires a leader who puts the people of Florida first, not a personal political agenda.”Learn more at www.Spence2026.com.We also discussed the ASBL’s Don’t Cheat Women project, which wants Congress to:Raise from 5% to 15% the federal contract dollars that must go to women-owned small businesses.Women are half the population. They own 40% of all businesses. But they get less than 5% of federal contract dollars. Men get at least 95%.Without economic fairness, women can’t be political equals. Men hold more political offices and have more political influence simply because they earn and save more than women.See what you can do at DontCheatWomen.com.The American Small Business League (ASBL.com) is an advocacy group working to end the diversion of federal small business contracts to big businesses. Our Don’t Cheat Women project (DontCheatWomen.com) seeks economic fairness for women so they can be political equals. Our economy will boom when only small businesses get “small business” contracts and women get a fair share of federal contracts.#dontcheatwomen #americansmallbusinessleague #federalcontracting #smallbusinesses #womenownedsmallbusinesses #governmentcontracting #governmentcontracts
