Before you vote in SWFL-17, know where they stand. Matthew Montavon advocated for raising the Social Security retirement age, then denied it. Allen Spence wants to eliminate the wage cap so high earners pay their fair share, and will never cut benefits or raise the retirement age. See the full comparison and vote by August 18.

Were you 1 of the 5,000 in Sarasota ????!!!! I'm running against Greg Steube, a man who thinks Donald Trump is a KING who can send our young sons and daughters 7,000 miles away from home to wage war in Iran without ANY accountability—as long as he doesn't call it a WAR. Join my campaign today— because we can't wait any longer.

In 2032, Social Security benefits could be slashed by 23% if Congress does nothing. My primary opponent called himself a Democrat, then floated raising the retirement age. When it came out, he flat out denied saying it. I won't play both sides. My plan is simple: make income over $185,000 keep paying into Social Security. Protect benefits without punishing workers.

Election day is this Tuesday. One candidate has spent this campaign showing up: town halls, hard questions, real plans. The other hasn't shown his face in his own district office since July 2024 and refuses to face voters directly. The debt has doubled since he took office. You deserve a representative who shows up. Let's finish this. VOTE SPENCE, AUG 18, polls open 7 AM to 7 PM.

Each name opens the page’s Vipima page, with its own figures and its link to Meta’s Ad Library.
Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
