For three decades in public service, Sheila Dixon has been a champion of Baltimore neighborhoods and a pioneer for women and minorities. Sheila started her political career in Druid Heights fighting alongside the Druid Heights Community Development Corporation in the revitalization of the neighborhood, proving that with the proper energy and investment, West Baltimore communities can flourish.  She took her skills to the office of Mayor, where she delivered basic City services on time and ushered in 30-year record lows in crime and homicides.

Sheila is the mother of two adult children, Jasmine Hampton Brooks and Joshua Hampton. She lives in Southwest Baltimore and is an active member of Bethel A.M.E. Church, where she serves as a member of the Stewardess Board.​

​​Sheila is a graduate of the Baltimore City public school system and holds a bachelor's degree from Towson University and a master's degree from Johns Hopkins University.
