The Forest Dunes Homeowner Association every election cycle invites all the Myrtle Beach City Council and Mayoral candidates to come speak at their Association meeting. It is always a very interesting event. This one was no different. It was a chance to hear all of the candidates speak and tell about their plans for the future of the city of Myrtle Beach. 

This episode you will hear from Mayor Brenda Bethune, Former Mayor Mark McBride, Mark Kruea, Eva Rigney all running for Mayor.

Council candidates Councilman Mike Lowder, Councilwoman Jackie Hatley, former Councilman Phil Render, Johnnie Bellamy, Terrence Butler, Kenya Hennigan, Myra Starnes, and Nick Vaugh. 

We will tell you that we had some sound quality issues with this event. But we hope you enjoy our effort to bring it to you.

This is the Myrtle Beach Municipal Meet and Greet from late September of 2025. It features all the candidates for Mayor of Myrtle Beach and most of the candidates for Myrtle Beach City Council. Our Host, Randal Wallace, a former Myrtle Beach City Councilman, also served as the MC for the event. 

The candidates featured are Mayor Brenda Bethune, Daniel Aumen, Eve Rigney, Mark Kruea, and former Mayor Mark McBride, in the Mayor's race, and council candidates: Terrence Butler, Myra Starnes, Johnnie Bellamy, Nick Vaugh, Sam Fresquez, and Kenya Staten Hennigan. 

This format was , in our opinion, excellent because it allowed each candidate to speak for a few minutes and talk about themselves and what their vision is for the city of Myrtle Beach.  

Enjoy the forum.
