My name is Mark Cielsak, and my husband of nearly 10 years is running for Florida House District 54. I wanted to share a bit about him, why he is special, and why he deserves your support.
Our next door neighbor has a temper. He gets mad and yells a LOT. He even found a way to be angry and start cursing when we replaced the fence around our backyard, of all things. And, he’s a die-hard Trumper. A few days back our neighbor told Karl that even though Karl is running as a Democrat, he (our neighbor) will vote for him. This is the power of authenticity and compassion, the two principles that guide Karl’s DNA as a candidate for House District 54. We need that kind of ability to reach across divides in order to chip away at the republican supermajority in Florida state government.
Karl has an uncanny ability to connect with people where they are at, and bring them with him on a journey to make change. I’ve seen it — marveled at it — time and time again professionally in his hospitality career, spiritually at our church, and politically when he engages with voters.
The core issues of his campaign cut across partisan lines. The top example is the homeowners insurance crisis in Florida. It’s the top issue on every voters mind. It highlights the failed leadership of Desantis and the Republican majority in Tallahassee. Voters no longer trust Republicans to address the issue and are looking for a new alternative. It’s a great opportunity to bring people together for change, and Karl is the person to rally District 54 together and help change the landscape in Tallahassee.
Any financial support you can help with will go a long way towards bringing about the change we need. You may also donate via
