Recall election canceled after former Lynn Haven Mayor Jesse Nelson resigns
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – The recall election against Lynn Haven Mayor Jesse Nelson has been canceled after Nelson announced his resignation late Friday evening in an email to Interim City Manager Chris Lightfoot.
The Bay County Supervisor of Elections Office confirmed on Saturday that his resignation means the recall election has been canceled.
Nelson had been at the center of controversy for months, following issues with the former City Manager Vicky Gainer and former Police Chief Ricky Ramie, among other things.
He had previously sued business owner James Finch, the Chairman of the Lynn Haven Recall Committee, and the Supervisor of Elections Office in an attempt to stop the recall from going forward.
