Dorsey for District 4

Gene's experience

Our mission

My primary focus will be the 4th District, but countywide issues like affordable housing, economic development, renewable energy, and property taxes—especially for seniors—affect everyone. Homelessness also requires county support, as it's a complex issue involving behavioral health. Addressing these challenges will need full-time commitment.

Utilizing my experience in overseeing teams ranging from 3 to 225 employees throughout my 35-year tenure in the corporate sector, I have honed transferable skills that make me a fitting candidate for the position of County Commissioner. My proficiency in preparing and managing both capital and operating budgets surpassing 500 million dollars equips me to effectively navigate the annual budgetary process within the county context. Over the course of several years, my role in internal auditing and contract assessment as the manager of construction audits has equipped me with the acumen to pose crucial inquiries regarding expenditures.

Furthermore, my personal journey as a caregiver for my son, who grappled with bipolar schizoaffective disorder, has bestowed upon me invaluable insights and a profound sense of empathy when it comes to addressing the challenges posed by severe mental illness.
