WE GET THERE TOGETHER
Working-Class, Results-Driven.
Fiscal Responsibility
Every dollar should work as hard as the people who earn it—spent with purpose, guided by values, & focused on long-term results.
Ready on Day One
This isn’t on-the-job training—experience matters. I’m ready to lead immediately because I’ve already been doing the work.
Proven Integrity
Trust is earned through consistency, courage, and showing up—governing with people, not over them, even when it’s not popular.
Equity Built
The best solutions come from the people closest to the problem. Every neighborhood deserves equal care and a seat at the table.
ABOUT SHAMEKA

After years of organizing, listening, and leading across neighborhoods, Shameka is ready to lead on day one with courage, character, and consistency.

SHAMEKA’S POLICIES
A Metro Government
That Works for All.
Metro Government should be accessible, accountable, and responsive to every neighborhood, small city, and county community.
As Mayor, Shameka will create stronger neighborhood coordination, launch accountability and performance tracking, make service and spending data public, and streamline how government gets things done.
Government should work for people, not frustrate them.
