Penny Freeman brings to her mayoral candidacy years of experience in organizing community and volunteer labor and managing big projects on a tight budget. The food pantry she founded has not only served thousands of families since its inception, but – in the middle of a pandemic that has seen food banks across the nation shut their doors in times of extreme need – has managed to turn away not a single person seeking aid.

“Revitalization isn’t a miracle; it’s a model, and we’ve built one that works,” Freeman said. “I’m ready to implement it … and I would like to have an opportunity to bring the city out of what has long been called a ‘slump’ and bring us closer to being able to thrive in a city that is inclusive of everyone.
“This campaign is about all the people who comprise our rich community fabric, and I promise this: The people of Sheffield will always come first.” ~ Penny Freeman
