Winston–Salem has new Mayor Pro Tempore and City Council Member

5/27/2020

 
The positions of Winston-Salem Mayor Pro Tempore and Northeast Ward City Council Member became vacant after the passing of Dr. Vivian Burke, a lifelong civil servant. Council Member D.D. Adams will serve as the new Mayor Pro Tempore. Morticia Parmon will fill the remaining term as City Council Member from the Northeast Ward.

City Council Member D.D. Adams was recommended to fill the role of Mayor Pro Tempore by Mayor Allen Joines. After the more senior members of the City Council – Robert Clark and Dan Besse – deferred to Mayor Joines's recommendation, the City Council voted unanimously to appoint Council Member Adams. 

On May 23, the FCDP's Northeast Ward District Executive Committee held an election to select the interim city council member from the Northeast Ward. The committee, composed of the Ward's precinct chairs and vice chairs, selected Morticia Parmon from among four candidates. Morticia Parmon will serve the Northeast Ward on the City Council until a new member is elected during the 2020 general election.

Mitchell,
Thanks for your question about the Mayor Pro Tempore. The City Council votes to elect one of the City Council members to be the Mayor Pro Tempore, who fills in for the mayor in his/her absence.
