Wednesday, Sep. 02, 2009 Former Myrtle Beach Mayor To Run Again Former Myrtle Beach Mayor Mark McBride will announce his candidacy for mayor this afternoon at 2 p.m., according to a notice released this morning.
McBride was a two-term mayor, from 1998 to 2006, defeated by John Rhodes in the fall 2005 election.
McBride has planned a press conference for this afternoon to make the announcement official.
He moved back into the city recently, while his wife and children remain at the family's home in Conway. People who want to run for office must live inside the city and be registered voters here before they are eligible.
McBride's announcement will widen the race to four candidates so far: Rhodes is running for re-election, and challengers Keith Van Winkle and Bill Howard also hope to take the seat.
The filing period for candidates ends at noon Friday. www.thesunnews.com/news/local/story/1048515.html

Update: www.thesunnews.com/news/local/story/1049568.htmlThis line stood out to me: "...Karon Mitchell, said she plans to file this morning to run for one of the open City Council seats...."I have known Karon for many years. She has excellent qualifications for the position, and would be a great council member.

I feel that more of the city than the biker population have issues with current leadership. With McBride in the running, many will more likely than not compare their current economic status as to what it is now as compared to what it was under Mcbrides previous rule. The current leadership by attacking the bikers and raising taxes have created economic distress for many. And by now, I am sure most know that McBride made a statement that was blown way out of proportion and Rhodes took advantage of that to defeat him last time.
