As the former Mayor Pro Tem of McLendon-Chisholm, I’m honored to share the statement below from my colleague, Council Member Floyd McLendon Jr. During my time on the City Council, I witnessed troubling behavior from Bryan McNeal—then a fellow council member—that foreshadowed the pattern of dishonorable conduct Floyd describes, now as Mayor. Floyd, a retired Navy SEAL with over 25 years of service, has always been a steady voice of integrity and purpose. I’ve seen him challenge others with respect, support veterans in need, and uphold the principles he lives by. His decision to speak out now is not just courageous—it’s necessary. Below is his full press release, and I stand with him in urging our community to look deeper into these serious allegations.
Floyd’s statement is just the start. For too long, McLendon-Chisholm has watched troubling behavior from its leadership go unchecked—by council members, elected officials, and even veteran groups who’ve turned a blind eye to their ‘brother’ who has disturbing conduct. Soon, I’ll launch a podcast to uncover the untold story of this dishonorable Mayor. This isn’t about settling scores—it’s about the truth our community deserves. Stay tuned, McLendon-Chisholm, for a story buried too long.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below or send me an email—I’d love to hear from you!
