After founding the independent government affairs firm known as Catalyst Strategies, Jared joined The Mayernick Group in February 2025, bringing a strong track record of advocacy and a commitment to finding meaningful policy solutions. 

Jared, a Florida Bar-licensed attorney, has a deep background in public policy. From health care to computer science to real estate and property/casualty insurance issues, Jared’s policy expertise springs from a wealth of experience across the public and private sector throughout multiple industries.

Beyond the policy, Jared excels at building teams and coalitions around issue-based advocacy, uniting experts, advocates, and stakeholders to create momentum for his clients.

This unique mix of policy acumen and collaborative, creative thinking stems from a multi-faceted career. Jared began his political work under now-Senate President Kathleen Passidomo, where he helped to guide President Passidomo’s policy initiatives, leading to lasting, strong relationships at all levels of legislative leadership.

He continued to hone his craft during his time directing the Florida Osteopathic Medical Association’s policy shop, where he worked with and helped build a collaborative coalition of medical organizations, and through a host of experience working with statewide organizations like the Florida Chamber of Commerce, nationwide organizations like Patients Rising and the Alliance for Patient Access, as well as a healthy dose of local community advocacy and grassroots work. Jared brings all this experience to bear for his clients, ensuring that each client is fiercely represented in the Florida Capitol.
