A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND CONGRATULATE THE HONORABLE BARBARA BLAIN-BELLAMY ON BEING ELECTED THE FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN MAYOR OF CONWAY AND TO OFFER MAYOR BLAIN-BELLAMY THE BEST WISHES OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AS SHE CARRIES OUT HER NEW DUTIES.

Whereas, elected on November 3, 2015, Barbara Blain-Bellamy took office as the first African-American mayor of Conway in January 2016; and

Whereas, prior to her election as mayor, Barbara Blain-Bellamy, a University of South Carolina School of Law graduate, had served on Conway City Council for ten years. In addition, she had served four years as Conway's deputy city administrator; and

Whereas, Mayor Blain-Bellamy is not the first in her family to make local history: her father forged a new path as the first African-American police officer in both Conway and Horry County at large; and

Whereas, the new mayor plans to continue leading with candor and prayerfulness, always respecting others and their views and building partnerships to solve problems; and

Whereas, the House of Representatives is pleased to pause in its deliberations to salute Barbara Blain-Bellamy on this historic victory, her election as the first African-American mayor of Conway, and to wish her well in this new endeavor. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and congratulate the Honorable Barbara Blain-Bellamy on being elected the first African-American mayor of Conway and offer Mayor Blain-Bellamy the best wishes of the South Carolina House of Representatives as she carries out her new duties.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Barbara Blain-Bellamy.
