Winston-Salem Mayor · 2028
Quamekia “Que” Shavers
A city that works for every neighborhood, every family, every generation. Que is running for Mayor of Winston-Salem to build a safer, more affordable, and more honest city hall.
The Vision
A Winston-Salem That Works for Everyone
Que's platform is built from conversations with residents in every ward — from Ardmore to Konnoak Hills to the East Side.
Public Safety, Reimagined
Fully staffed police and fire departments paired with community violence-interruption programs, faster 911 response times, and real accountability.
Affordable Housing for All
Expand affordable housing stock, crack down on predatory landlords, and protect long-time residents from displacement as the city grows.
Good Jobs, Local Growth
Bring living-wage jobs to every part of Winston-Salem, support small businesses on the east side, and hold big employers accountable to the community.
Schools & Youth Investment
After-school programs, summer jobs for teens, and real partnership between the city and Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools.
Roads, Transit & Infrastructure
Fix our streets, expand reliable public transit, and make sure every neighborhood — not just downtown — gets the infrastructure it deserves.
Honest, Transparent City Hall
Open budgets, accessible city council meetings, and a mayor who answers to residents, not special interests.
