Sharonda Dillard-Huffman
Community Rooted. Ready to Lead
Dedicated public servant, community advocate, mother and wife, Sharonda Dillard-Huffman is committed to creating a more equitable Baltimore County. As an ADA/504 Manager, she ensures that individuals with disabilities have fair access to housing and services. Her work with the Maryland Inclusive Housing, where she currently serves as Chair of the Baltimore County Housing Committee, reflects her commitment to dignity and opportunity for all residents.
In addition to her professional expertise in housing equity, zoning, disability law, and community development, Sharonda is the former Planning Ambassador with the Baltimore County Planning Department, where she educated the public on development issues and challenging long-standing inequities reinforced by outdated land use policies.
Sharonda is deeply engaged in civic life. She founded the Blue and Gold Democratic Club, serves as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention, and was recognized as a Top 10 Baltimore County Democrat. She is an alum of Emerge Maryland and the Executive Alliance Mentorship Program, where she continues to mentor and uplift future leaders. She is also a member of several nonpartisan organizations, including Sigma Gamma Rho, the NAACP, and the Greater Baltimore Urban League.
Her campaign theme, Elevate District 8!, reflects her mission to ensure that communities on the east side of Baltimore County receive the investment, representation, and voice they deserve. Sharonda’s vision centers on housing equity, transparency in government, and breaking down barriers in representation, always guided by the belief that fair policies should reflect the people they serve. She also strongly believes more attention must be focused on public safety and constituent services.
A proud Morgan State University alum, wife, mother, and daughter, Sharonda knows firsthand the challenges families face when housing is unaffordable or inaccessible. Her personal story of raising a family in Essex with her husband, Art, and advocating for their son’s right to live independently as a nonelderly disabled adult fuels her fight for a Baltimore County that works for everyone.
Quite simply, Sharonda is not just running for office; she is working to break barriers, build opportunity, and uplift the hard‑working families of the 8th Councilmanic District, which she hopes to represent in the Maryland State Assembly.
