Amber Mariano is a University of Central Florida student, a Student Government Senator, and now a Republican candidate for Florida’s 49th District House of Representatives seat.
Amber and her supporters fought through a grassroots campaign, going door-to-door and gaining support from the residents of Florida’s 49th District, officially earning enough signatures to be on the ballot for election in November. The student looks to represent the very same district that the University of Central Florida falls into – previously held by Rene Placensia, a House Representative that has made the move into gaining District 50.
“I am overjoyed with the support I found in the community of District 49,” the candidate said.
“With the help of several volunteers, we knocked on thousands of doors and had great success attaining the number of petitions required to get my name on the ballot. Thank you to everyone who helped us achieve this goal, it’s just the beginning,” Mariano continued.
Mariano’s opponents include Martin Collins (R), Shea Silverman (I), and Carlos Guillermo Smith (D).
