Get to know Jamie
My name is Jamie Marler and I am running for Lynn Haven City Commissioner seat 4. Lynn Haven is truly the best city in Bay County and while no city is immune to problems, I firmly believe that we overcome those problems by moving forward together!
I was born and raised in Dade City, Florida. There I independently raised my daughter and in 2010 we moved to Bay County. When we were looking for a place we wanted to settle down and call “home” we were driving through Lynn Haven and I looked at my daughter and said this is it. This is home and we haven’t looked back since! In 2015 I met the love of my life Sarah Kirkland and we were later married in 2017. Sarah has always called Lynn Haven home and her family roots to this little city run deep. I am an avid outdoorsman and previously served on the board for our local chapter of the National Wild Turkey Foundation. I am a man of strong faith and we are active members of St. Andrew Baptist Church and love being able to serve. In 2023 we welcomed our little boy into the world and love showing him around the best city there is on our afternoon golf cart rides!
While living in Dade City, I started my career out by running my family’s very successful multimillion dollar collision business and then decided I wanted a way to give back to my community. I attended the Police Academy and had the pleasure of serving as the president of my class where I then became a law enforcement officer upon graduation. After being injured in the line of duty sometime later and being my child’s only parent I realized that it was time for a fresh start and new career. In 2010 my daughter and I moved to Bay County. I began working for The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission doing invasive plant management on the biology side. In 2023, I suffered a catastrophic back injury while working which required emergency surgery having part of my spine rebuilt. This injury though had a silver lining and has now allowed me to be a stay at home Dad and a chance to yet again be able to give back and serve the community that we deeply love.
I became deeply invested in the local “politics” of Lynn Haven and Bay County when I moved here and have watched events unfold. I want for my family to have the same little city that my wife grew up in and that we are now we are raising our son in. I want my son to always be proud that Lynn Haven is home and continue the generational roots in this city that we love so well!
I am running because I want to be there for you. I want to listen to your concerns and your ideas. I want to work with my fellow commissioners, city manager and Mayor as one whole team united for you, the great citizens of Lynn Haven! It is the people after all that make Lynn Haven such a special place to live. I want to be a force behind driving positive change in this community. I truly believe that we can be even better when we move forward together!
