Runoff Election Held For North Myrtle Beach Council Seat

The runoff race will be held today for a North Myrtle Beach council seat. The seat was left vacant by Bob Cavanaugh who resigned in September after almost 20 years on the council. Trey Skidmore and Ron Nichols are facing off in the runoff after neither candidate reached the threshold during the special election held on March 2nd. During that election, there were 10 candidates and Skidmore and Nichols received the most votes with 961 and 514 votes respectively. Last week, the candidates held a forum over zoom for voters to get to know them.
