Introducing Mark Caruso

I am thrilled to declare my candidacy for Winter Springs District 5 Commissioner. Winter Springs has been my home for many years, and I am committed to giving back to this community that has given so much to my family and me. My wife and I chose to raise our children here, drawn by the natural beauty of the parks, lakes, and trails, as well as the array of family-friendly events and activities throughout the year.

With a strong background in public service, including many years in law enforcement in New York and at the Florida Department of Corrections, I have fiercely advocated for crucial matters such as improved working conditions, fair pay increases, and stronger protections for officers who reported internal corruption in my role as a Police Benevolent Association (PBA) Representative. I am dedicated to using my advocacy skills to rebuild and retain our city staff, including our Winter Springs Police department.

I am eager to bring about positive change in Winter Springs and to be a resounding voice for our residents. Ensuring the safety and well-being of our residents, as well as preserving the natural beauty and family-friendly atmosphere that makes Winter Springs special, are my top priorities. With your unwavering support, I am confident that together we can make a significant difference and build an even stronger and more vibrant community for all. Thank you for your consideration, and I boldly ask for your support in the upcoming election.
