Public safety is my top priority because nothing else works if people don’t feel safe. On day one, I am focused on putting more officers on the streets and making sure our neighborhoods feel protected again. Every family deserves peace of mind. Election Day is May 5th. - Devante Johnson

A political forum intended for voters to meet and hear from candidates ahead of McComb’s May 5 Democratic primary, became more charged when one candidate was met with heckling and jeers as the night came to a close.

Selectwoman Terri Waterman-Baylor, who is running for reelection for Ward 3, received murmurs of approval as she answered early questions, but as she made her closing statement a man sitting in the back of the room, later identified as Malcolm Myers, loudly made statements that Baylor’s reelection “ain’t gonna happen.”

Malcolm Myers, who is the brother of mayoral candidate David Myers but a supporter of mayoral candidate Selectman Bruce Mullins, had already earned shushing and laughter from audience members as he loudly cheered “yay” for other candidates.

Bayor wrote in a Facebook post that after the forum, she “was approached by a grown, disgruntled man who invaded my space and began cursing at me. The situation escalated to the point that my friend … had to step in between us. Yes, I felt threatened by his actions especially since he singled me out among all participants.”

Baylor later confirmed to the Enterprise-Journal that the man in question was Malcolm Myers.

Baylor said she contacted Mullins, as she believed Malcolm Myers was a part of his campaign team, and told him that if a similar event were to happen in future, she would involve the police.

Mullins told the Enterprise-Journal on Friday that Malcolm Myers is not a part of his team.

Malcolm Myers said in a Facebook livestream for an expletive-filled rant directed at Baylor, wherein he encouraged her to call the police and expressed his support for Mullins as mayor and for Baylor’s opponent former selectman Devonte Johnson. During his livestream, Malcolm Myers repeatedly stated that Baylor asked him to campaign for her. When asked about this Baylor said that she has never asked Malcolm Myers to campaign for her and that during her 2022 campaign he offered to pass out flyers for her if paid $100.

Johnson said in separate statements Friday that he does not “condone negative or chaotic campaigning” and he does not consider Malcolm Myers' remarks an endorsement.

May 5th, matters!
