Tony Warren Warren, 60, owns Realty Rock, a real estate company. He said North Myrtle Beach needs help from a regular guy, not career politicians. Warren wants the city to hit the brakes on allowing large neighborhoods and developments. He said the city should focus on fixing roads and addressing flooding. "I will listen to our residents and try with all my heart to help our town grow but not outgrow," Warren said. He said the city needs more grocery stores, fire departments and hospitals. He intends to work with industry recruiters to attract different companies, such as technology and manufacturing businesses. Warren also said the city needs to work with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to develop a long-term plan to keep the beach town beautiful and inviting. David Weitzman Weitzman, who declined to provide his age, is a primary care physician who is new to politics. If elected, Weitzman’s top priorities for North Myrtle Beach would be strengthening communication and trust, developing a clean industry and AI technology corridor, and building a stronger economy. Weitzman wants leaders, residents and business owners to listen to and understand one another. He intends to institute a community involvement plan if elected. Weitzman said North Myrtle Beach has the potential to become a regional hub for AI. Through faster permitting and attractive zoning, he wants to recruit innovative startups that will provide quality jobs and long-term growth. As for growth, he said the city should bring in experts who have successfully managed growth in other communities.
