Hello Fellow Citizens of Sunset Beach! I wanted to take this opportunity to re-introduce myself to you. My name is Sean Arnold, and I'm a candidate for Town Council. You may have seen me out and about, either driving through your neighborhoods, or at restaurant or store. I've been truly blessed by the amount of positive feedback and words of encouragement - you've been my reason for pressing ahead. For those that have already voted for me, THANK YOU for your support!!! By thi

This is a bit of a lengthy post, so please bear with me. Since day one, transparency and honesty have been paramount in my campaign. Since receiving the attached email below, I've felt it necessary to share with the public (with permission) what's been occurring. Around January 2025, several people approached me and encouraged me to run for Town Council. Their reasoning? "I had a different thought process on topics," and "I ask questions others don't. It's time for Sunset B

Here are ten quotes on Leadership to inspire you on a beautiful Friday morning... "A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions,  and the compassion to listen to the needs of others."  ~ Douglas MacArthur "The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the  one that gets the people to do the greatest things."  ~ Ronald Reagan  "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and beco

Good Monday afternoon, I would like to share some information about myself and my decision to run for Town Council. In recent years, I’ve noticed a disconnect between the Town Council and the citizens of Sunset Beach. Many residents feel that their voices have been overlooked or disregarded by the Council. This sentiment of being disrespected and ignored has led to mounting frustration over the past several months. As this frustration grew, calls for change increased, includi

On August 27, 2025, Lisa Anglin, Town Administrator, invited me and the other candidates to a “Roundtable Meet and Greet with the Sunset Beach Town Administrator and Department Heads” on September 10, 2025. The purpose of the event was to “learn about the Town” and be provided an overview of each department’s staffing needs and current operations.   I politely declined the invitation, as I already had a prior engagement. However, since that meeting, other candidates on the sl

Ladies and Gentlemen, The attached email is a prime example of why I am not engaging with Mr. Peters or those running as a slate. I don’t appreciate blatant lies being spread about me or the other candidates, nor will I ever submit to someone’s warnings of “exposing me”, threats, or demands. I have never heard of this type of behavior before – why is this the first time it’s happened and why are people resorting to such dirty tactics? In almost 6 years that I’ve been a full-t

If this campaign were a baseball game, I've rounded third base and am heading home. I 'm grateful to the longtime voting residents who took the time to explain the political dynamics and potential challenges and games played from the opposition. Believe me when I tell you that those residents were 100% correct. Every political tactic I was cautioned about has been repeatedly employed on social media and in the public. Throughout my campaign, I've been transparent about my pos
