Charlie Dooley’s re-election is important to me because there’s so much at stake. On August 5th, in the Democratic primary, I’ll be voting for Charlie Dooley. I Hope you will, too." -Maxine Clark, Retail Entrepreneur "Charlie Dooley shares the values of county  residents, gets things done, and puts the people of St. Louis County first.

Charlie Dooley is the type of strong leader St. Louis County needs to keep moving forward." -Senior Citizen Advocate Marylen Mann and Business owner Frank Jacobs  "Charlie’s re-election is important to me because there’s so much at stake.

I hope you will too.” -Susan Uchitelle, Educational Consultant and the former Executive Director of the Voluntary Interdistrict Coordinating Council
Political Leaders  "Each of us know the challenges of leadership in an American urban community. We recognize there is a shortage of resources, an excess of community needs and the ever-present requirement to use public resources in the most effective and efficient way. For ten years, Charlie Dooley has been providing the leadership St. Louis County needs. He has been making the difficult decisions during tough economic times to keep the St. Louis Region on track to attract jobs and provide community service and leadership to assure the economic growth needed to create a better future for the citizens of St. Louis County and the entire region." -Francis Slay, Mayor of the City of St. Louis, and former Mayors Vincent Schoemehl, Freeman Bosley Jr., Clarence Harmon, and James Conway  "Charlie is an inspiration to me and to the community, and he’s been a sensational leader. Remember to vote for Charlie Dooley!" -Lacy Clay, United States Congressman "I am sharing with you my strong endorsement of Charlie Dooley, our current St. Louis County Executive, to remain as County Executive for another term. I know Charlie Dooley and I trust him to continue to lead this County. I want  to roll with the one who has brought us this far. I want to roll with the one I know has my and Greendale residents’ best interests not only in his actions, but in his heart. I look at what folks do, not just what they say when it’s election time. Charlie Dooley has been an honest and hard-working County Executive with results to show for his work, and he deserves our vote. Please vote for Charlie on Tuesday, August 5th. Make your vote count." -Monica M. Huddleston, Mayor of Greendale  "As a former Clayton Mayor, I know the importance of public safety and bringing jobs to a community. Charlie Dooley reduced the crime rate to a 43-year low and brought more than 6,000 new jobs to the St. Louis region in 2013 alone. Charlie guided St. Louis County through one of the worst economic downturns in recent history and we’re now reaping the benefit of the sound decisions made by his administration. Companies are expanding, the help wanted signs are out, and we have momentum. Let’s keep the momentum going!" -Ben Uchitelle, Former Mayor of the City of Clayton Charlie is also proud to have the endorsement of Former Congressman Bill Clay, Sr., as well as a number of local mayors, including Mayor Patrick Green of Normandy, Mayor Everett Thomas of Northwoods, Mayor Mary Carter of Pagedale, Mayor James McGee of Vinita Park, Mayor Ted Hoskins of Berkeley, Mayor Viola Murphy of Cool Valley, and Mayor Reggie Jones of Dellwood.

 "County Executive Charlie Dooley has shown risk-taking leadership in addressing two of the most pressing problems facing the St. Louis region: its political and racial fragmentation, which hobbles our region’s competitiveness, and its stagnating population, which erodes our tax base, workforce, innovation, entrepreneurship and capital investment. We strongly endorse CHARLIE DOOLEY FOR COUNTY EXECUTIVE." -The St. Louis American
