Myrtle Beach Deserves Better

I’m Johnnie Bellamy, and I am running for the Myrtle Beach City Council to restore accountability, safety, and common sense to our local government. For too long, we have witnessed our tax dollars being wasted, rising crime rates, and decisions made without considering the needs of residents and small businesses. It’s time for a change.

"Myrtle Beach Deserves Better! We deserve a leader who fights for residents first - not politics, not special interests, but people."

DID YOU KNOW? EVERY YEAR, $24 MILLION OF OUR TAXES ARE SENT OUTSIDE OF THE CITY OF MYRTLE BEACH TO THE “TDF” TOURISM DEVELOPMENT FEE. THAT’S MONEY WE SHOULD BE INVESTING RIGHT HERE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.

PLEASE DON’T VOTE FOR ME IF YOU WANT MORE OF THE SAME!

My Fellow Myrtle Beach Residents…

I love it here… I was born in Horry County, my DNA is here, my parents & grandparents grew up in North Myrtle Beach. I have been actively involved in many organizations that exist to improve the lives of our residents, businesses and families. 

Unfortunately, that government closest to the people spends so much money, we’re in debt up to our eyeballs and yet life is not better or easier or more affordable.

Back when builders & developers wouldn’t even THINK of clear-cutting hundreds of beautiful trees. Back when massive traffic jams were the exception, not the rule. Back when local government hired the best-qualified people,  just the right person of ANY color, shape, or background who will work hard for US!

Back when families flocked to our weather, our beaches, our sun & fun, our golf courses and our entertainment. Back when builders, developers & Americans with dreams created exciting new reasons to come here & stay – not bloated government that hides from the very folks who fund it.

There’s so much we can do together – Myrtle Beach Deserves Better!

With your vote, that’s just what we’ll do at City Hall.

On November 4th, Go vote for real change!

MY GOALS FOR THE FUTURE

THE CHANGE WE STRIVE TO MAKE

Although it is impossible for a single Council member to make the kind of sweeping changes that I believe we must make to survive and thrive, I will work overtime to accomplish my vision for Myrtle Beach.

HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH?

If you’re like me, the answer is a resounding “YES!”

SPENDING & SAFETY

I will vote against wasteful spending; vote for increased public safety.

HIRE ONLY THE BEST

I will vote to hire only the best, most qualified employees for every position (ending DEI).

NO MORE CLEAR-CUTTING

I will vote against the rampant destruction of our beautiful environment.

Encourage More Voters

I will vote to encourage more voters to participate in elections by creating single-member districts & moving our elections to even-numbered years.

COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY

I will vote to hold our meetings in the full public view at their convenience, not ours.
