From the Stock Market to Congress: Allen's journey to the US House
For over 20 years, I’ve worked in broker-dealer operations, most recently at multiple nationally recognized fintech firms. I’ve overseen how trades are executed, ensured regulatory compliance, and fought for transparency in financial markets. I now face a different foe, a US House Representative who is too afraid to host a town hall. I’m a Scouting America troop leader, a proud Floridian, and a dad to an amazing teenage son. My wife and I built our life here in Southwest Florida, and like many families, we’re concerned about rising costs, political dysfunction, and leaders more focused on headlines than results. I’m not running for a political career, I’m here to serve. I believe my district deserves a representative who places their loyalty to the country, Constitution and their constituents over one person or a political party. My campaign slogan is “Maximize Your Utility”, but what does that mean? Utility is economics jargon. My campaign is all about economics. Utility is a way to measure satisfaction and happiness. I define utility as the practical ability to empower every person with their unalienable rights as defined by the founding fathers in the Declaration of Independence: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. My campaign is a mission to restore that usefulness to our government, moving past partisan politics to deliver tangible results for our community. Good laws and good government policy to bring about an economic renaissance where all boats are lifted.
