Spencer teaches government and history at Little Rock Catholic High School and
formed a group called Regnat Populus that has pushed for campaign finance and
ethics changes in the state. In his announcement, Spencer criticized efforts by
Republicans in Washington to repeal and replace the federal health overhaul.
Spencer faces an uphill battle in Arkansas, where Republicans hold all
statewide and federal offices as well as a majority in both chambers of the
state Legislature.
