| Meet Team Dooley! Team Dooley is made from real, local, spirited individuals who care deeply about the future of St. Louis County. We connect with new people in St. Louis County every day who support Charlie Dooley as County Executive! Meet Vietnam veteran Roosevelt Smith, a Team Dooley all-star volunteer and grandfather of two who served in the Army right before Charlie. Roosevelt has volunteered over three weeks with Team Dooley by knocking on doors and calling County residents. One of his favorite things to do is meet new people and spread the word of why Charlie is the right person for the job.  “I enjoy meeting people and talking about Charlie’s County Council experience and how he became an example of community leadership,” says Roosevelt. “I also admire his leadership abilities from his military experience, and how he has transitioned those experiences into caring for his community. Being in Vietnam definitely changes your perspective and appreciation of what we have here and how you relate to other people.” Because of the similarities between Charlie and Roosevelt’s military service he considers it an honor to volunteer with the Team. Roosevelt is 70 years-young and lives in unincorporated St. Louis County.
Charlie’s commitment to investing in St. Louis County’s future is reflected in the people who have joined his campaign. Meet Adela Slovakova, a 24 year-old immigrant from Jesenik in the Czech Republic. Adela came to the United States five years ago on a tennis scholarship to Lindenwood University where she double majored in political science and international relations.  When Adela first came to St. Louis, she quickly developed a passion for improving the lives of people who are in circumstances similar to hers. She joined Governor Jay Nixon’s campaign and interned in the field, learning how immigrants can improve the communities in which they live. When Adela learned of Charlie’s Mosaic Project to make St. Louis a thriving place for immigrants to live and work, she immediately applied to work on the campaign and be a liaison to the immigrant community. “Back home in Czech, people don’t really care about politics” says Adela. “People here are more open and friendlier. I consider myself to be very lucky to meet so many people who have helped and motivated me to achieve my goals.” Adela is staying in St. Louis to pursue her MBA from Lindenwood University.
Meet Chelsey Oliver, a young and passionate community advocate who joined Team Dooley back in March of this year. Born and raised in St. Louis County, Chelsey represents the diversity of individuals who are working to re-elect Charlie as County Executive.  Chelsey comes from the industrial sector as her career is rooted in research and development in the sciences. She earned her Bachelor of Science from Maryville University and her Master of Arts in Patent Agency from Webster University. Chelsey currently works in the biochemical industry and devotes all her free time to helping Team Dooley. Her favorite aspect of the campaign is to recruit volunteers to join the Team to re-elect Charlie. “You’re coming to their neighborhood and engaging them in their own homes,” says Chelsey. “That’s the real reward… talking to people who care about their community and are willing to take action to invest in its future.” Chelsey is a Team Dooley community organizer who deeply believes in Charlie’s vision of St. Louis County’s future. She is 31 years old and worked to re-elect President Obama in 2012.
