About Jameka
Leading with compassion and creativity.
Jameka is committed to advocating for policies that move our city forward in a way that everyone can live with dignity. Jameka's mission is to ensure that as our community continues to expand, the benefits to the residents do too.
Jameka stands out for her exceptional ability to connect with the community, build meaningful relationships and foster collaboration. As a community activist, neighborhood leader in Historic Uptown, and avid art supporter she has contributed to campaigns that strengthened tenant protections, connected residents to city and community resources, and championed the arts as a vital part of our city.
Values & Vision
Jameka's approach involves deeply immersing herself into the St. Petersburg community. She listens, strategizes, and advocates for transparent, accessible leadership. Here's how her vision unfolds:
Economic Empowerment
I believe a thriving city invests in its people. I will champion workforce development, small business support, and creating sustainable jobs that pay living wages.
Affordable Housing
Everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home. I will continue the fight for deeply affordable housing and effective policies that put the needs of our community first. I will address the rising rates of our unhoused population as the crisis that it is - with compassion and tangibility.

Housing is Human
Driving Sustainable Progress
My vision prioritizes sustainable solutions for expanding public transit, addressing rising flood levels, updating our infrastructure, repairing crumbling roads and sidewalks, and investing in renewable energy sources.
Encouraging Cultural Growth
The arts are essential to our community. I will work to protect studio spaces, support local artists, and ensure creativity remains central to St. Pete's identity.

Jameka and I first connected at an event where she volunteered. She quickly became an integral part of the community. Since then, she has generously contributed her time and talents to multiple events, consistently showing up with confidence, initiative, and heart. What stands out most about Jameka is her natural leadership—she steps into space with ease, making everyone feel seen, welcomed, and connected. Her strength and passion are evident in all she does, whether socially, politically, or within the broader community. Over the past two years, it has been a true honor to know Jameka not only as a dedicated volunteer but also as a trusted friend and sister.
