Leading Folly with Facts, Respect, and Commitment to Residents

chris bizzell for folly beach mayor

On Council, I’ve led with preparation, respect, and facts. On the campaign trail, I bring that same energy—listening, working hard, and tackling challenges head-on. As Mayor, I’ll do the same for Folly Beach.

Does My Campaign Reflect How I Will Lead as Mayor?

People often ask if the way I run my campaign is a preview of how I will serve as Mayor. The answer is simple: yes. From day one, I approached this campaign with preparation and purpose—launching on time, putting signs in neighbors’ yards, sending our first mailer, and making a clear case for why I’m ready to lead. Every day, I show up, listen, research, prepare, and work with others to get things done.

That same style—organized, respectful, fact-based, and data-driven—is how I’ve served on Council, and it’s exactly what I will bring to the Mayor’s office. For me, leadership means commitment and respect. I value every voice, and I have the temperament to listen carefully, keep the focus on solutions, and never make things personal. Just as I’ve done throughout this campaign—publishing position articles to keep residents informed on the issues—I will continue that same open, transparent communication as Mayor.

Leadership That Delivers for Folly Beach

With your trust and your vote, I will bring the same commitment, organization, and fact-based leadership I’ve shown on Council to the Mayor’s office. Let’s protect what we love, tackle our challenges head-on, and build a stronger future for Folly Beach, together.
