As we gather with family and friends this Labor Day, it's important to reflect on the true significance of this holiday. Labor Day is more than just the end of summer or a long weekend—it's a time to honor the contributions of workers across our nation, those who have built and continue to sustain our communities with their tireless efforts.

From the educators who shape the minds of our children, to the healthcare workers who care for our loved ones, to the first responders who keep us safe, and the countless others who work day in and day out to make our lives better—today, we salute you.

Labor Day is also a reminder of the ongoing struggles and triumphs of the labor movement. The fight for fair wages, safe working conditions, and the right to unionize has been long and hard-fought, and it is far from over. Here in Florida, we know that workers are the backbone of our economy, and we must continue to support policies that protect their rights and ensure they receive the respect and compensation they deserve.

As a candidate for the Florida House of Representatives in District 54, I am committed to standing with our workers. Whether it's advocating for better wages, supporting our unions, or fighting against legislation that undermines workers' rights, I believe that a strong labor force is essential to a thriving community.

This Labor Day, I'm proud to join forces with Pat Kemp, who is running a winnable race for Florida's Congressional District 15 against Laurel Lee. We’ll be celebrating with the hardworking members of IBEW Local 915 at their Labor Day picnic. This event is a wonderful opportunity to show our gratitude to the workers who keep our communities thriving and to stand in solidarity with those fighting for better working conditions and fair pay. You can learn more about Pat Kemp’s campaign and how to support her at www.votepatkempforcongress.com.

Let’s remember the power of unity and the importance of standing together to protect the rights and dignity of all workers. Let's celebrate the progress we've made, while also acknowledging the work that remains to be done.

In my campaign, I strive to embody the values that Labor Day represents: fairness, justice, and a commitment to improving the lives of everyday people. I am deeply grateful for the support of the hardworking individuals in our district, and I promise to continue fighting for you in Tallahassee.

So, as we enjoy this holiday, let’s take a moment to thank the workers who make it all possible. Happy Labor Day to all—your dedication and perseverance inspire us every day.

Yours in Hospitality,

Karl Cieslak

Democratic Candidate for Florida House District 54
