12 Ways I Will Make Government Work For Us
Floridians are being squeezed by rising costs, and far too many families are falling behind. Nearly 1 in 5 children in Florida, over 800,000, don’t know where their next meal is coming from. That is unacceptable. My economic plan focuses on lowering costs, long-term growth, and restoring dignity for every family in Sarasota, Charlotte, and Lee Counties.

Our Plan to Restore Faith in Government
More than 7 million Florida voters stayed home in the 2024 election. About half a million Floridians are eligible to vote but have yet to register. Seventy percent (70%) of Americans believe "politicians don't care what people like me think."
I'm running to fight for a government that works for everyone—transparent, accountable, and responsive. Where every American has a voice, every vote counts, and our communities thrive by Getting Shit Done in Congress.
1 / Make Government Work for You
-
Better policies: The Prosperity Agenda.
-
Bring collaboration, bipartisanship, and pragmatic policymaking back to Congress.
-
Open and honest representation. A promise to engage the media and constituents: Hold town halls at every public library.
2 / Energize Voters
-
Automatic registration with an option to opt out. Federal government to set standards and provide funding. New systems to be run by each state.
-
Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act (VRA) to protect voters and make voting easier for American citizens. The VRA addresses discrimination, upholds transparency from municipalities and states in election regulation changes, and makes voting more accessible for language minorities.
-
Promote and support community-based learning for high school students through programs like Embracing Our Differences, Mock Trial, Debate, Key Club, and Teen Court.
3 / Re-Build Federal Institutions
-
Implement Congressional term limits: 6 years for the House, 12 years for the Senate.
-
Establish 12 At-Large Senators to be elected through a national popular vote, boosting democratic engagement by making votes more equally impactful, encouraging candidates to address nationwide issues, and increasing trust that the Senate reflects the popular will.
-
Increase representation in the US House with about 500,000 people per Congressperson.
-
Rebalance the power of the Supreme Court by creating a 13-judge multi-circuit, national panel to hear cases where the US or a federal agency is a party.
Our Student Success Agenda
Allen Spence is a graduate of Florida public schools and the parent of a child currently enrolled in a public charter school. After seeing teacher turnover, classroom disruptions, and the challenges families face navigating Florida's education system, Allen is committed to strengthening public education for every student.
$10,000 Teacher Retention Bonus
Florida students need great teachers in every classroom. By redirecting federal funding from ICE, CBP, Alligator Alcatraz, and "Schools of Hope," we can provide annual teacher retention bonuses that keep experienced educators in our schools and strengthen student learning.
AI & Workforce Readiness
Prepare students for a rapidly changing economy by expanding access to computer science, digital literacy, AI education, career training, and pathways to good-paying jobs.
School Meals for Every Child
Guarantee free, nutritious school meals for every child, ensuring no student has to learn on an empty stomach while reducing costs for working families and partnering with local farms.
Pull Federal Funds from "Schools of Hope" Models
No more federal funding for "Schools of Hope" models or federal programs that divert resources away from public schools without delivering consistent honesty or results.
Instead, federal investments should support public schools, strengthen intervention systems, modernize facilities, and provide struggling campuses with the resources they need before students fall through the cracks.
Stopping School Shootings Through Prevention & Safety Investments
Re-instate the Assault Rifle Ban and treat gun violence as a public health issue.
Ensure another Uvalde or Parkland doesn't happen through expanded mental health services, school counselors, violence prevention programs, community partnerships, and evidence-based safety measures.
Streamline IEPs & 504 Plans
Ensure every student receives the support they deserve by reducing barriers to services, expanding special education staffing, and making IEP and 504 processes more accessible for families.
Keep It Wild!

250,000 Acres of Wildlife Corridor & 100,000 Acres of Wetland, Mangrove Restoration
A guaranteed 90-day turnaround for FEMA reimbursements paired with yearly congressional oversight audits.
A large-scale habitat conservation and coastal wetland/mangrove restoration commitment.
24-Hour Water Quality Notification, Monthly Testing, & Published Reports
Mandatory rapid public alerts, regular testing, and transparency reporting for drinking water quality.
