Charlie Dooley has a wide array of endorsements from many diverse perspectives. Here’s what some of Charlie’s supporters have to say...    Community Leaders "Charlie supports the causes that I feel are so important to the future of our region. He’s a strong advocate for access to quality education for all students and invested more than $10 million in school-based services through various county departments including the Children’s Service Fund, Department of Health, and Public Works. 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. He’s worked tirelessly to protect women’s access to affordable health care and their right to make their own family planning decisions. Charlie has been a champion of the County and City collaborating in order to grow the region and potentially save taxpayers money. 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’ve worked closely with Charlie Dooley over the years.  He’s dedicated to the County.  He’s an open book.  And he has earned our trust.  On August 5th, in the Democratic primary, I’ll be voting for Charlie Dooley.  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.  Organized Labor "Our members have benefited from having Charlie Dooley as the County Executive… both on social issues and on labor-related issues." -Nancy Cross, Vice Presient SEIU Local 1     Charlie is proud to have the support of the United Auto Workers, Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, United Food & Commercial Workers Local 655, International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental, and Reinforcing Iron Workers Union, and the Service Employees International Union. "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 Charlie has spent his lifetime in service to his county, community, and country.   Let’s keep the County moving forward with Charlie Dooley!   Vote Tuesday, August 5, 2014   Follow us on Twitter @TeamDooley2014!   Visit our website!

Dooley the Best Choice for the St. Louis Region

A Message from  St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay                       Dear Friends,     It is my great pleasure to write to you today to express my support for Charlie Dooley and my endorsement for his reelection as St. Louis County Executive.     Charlie Dooley is a genuine, strong, and passionate leader who is committed to positioning the St. Louis area to compete on a global scale.  He is a champion of collaboration.  Last year Charlie and I brought the City and County economic councils together to form the St. Louis Economic Development Partnership, a great first step towards growing our region that resulted in bringing more than 5,000 jobs to our region in 2013 alone.   Charlie Dooley sincerely cares about people and shares the values of the community.  He has expanded access to healthcare, reduced the county crime rate to a 42-year low, and is currently focused on combatting sex trafficking.     Charlie Dooley has spent his lifetime in service to his county, community, and country.  In 1965, Charlie Dooley enlisted in the United States Army, was stationed in Vietnam in 1966, and received an honorable discharge in 1968 with a rank of Specialist 5th Class. After his military tour of duty, he returned to St. Louis and went to work at McDonnell-Douglas.

Stenger Vote Leaves Seniors out in the Cold

As St. Louis County Executive, Charlie Dooley has worked hard to improve the living conditions of seniors who have given so much to our communities. Under Charlie Dooley's leadership the county has been named an AARP Age Friendly Community, the only one in the state and one of only 30 in the nation. But Steve Stenger, in yet another attempt to score political points and further his personal agenda, turned his back on our elderly neighbors. Stenger originally supported a much needed senior housing development in Oakville, but upon hearing the concerns of a few outspoken residents, he filed a resolution to revoke the development's zoning. As the Post-Dispatch put it, Stenger "was for it before he was against it." Once again, Steve Stenger would rather do what is politically expedient than what is right. Click below to view our latest ad: The aging of St. Louis County's population is a trend that will impact all of us. By 2030, 20% of Americans will be over age 65, and our nation will face a severe shortage of appropriate housing and services to meet their needs if we do not act. In St. Louis County, the Baby Boomers combined with seniors over the age of 65 represent nearly half of our local population. Charlie Dooley has shown a willingness to make the tough decisions to do what is right for our elderly neighbors and friends and make St. Louis County a community where seniors can age comfortably and with dignity. Steve Stenger has shown a willingness to do anything for his political and personal gain, even turning his back on seniors. If this is how Stenger votes on the council, what will he eliminate as County Executive? Charlie has spent his lifetime in service to his county, community, and country.   Let’s keep the County moving forward with Charlie Dooley!   Vote Tuesday, August 5, 2014   Follow us on Twitter @TeamDooley2014!   Visit our website!

Shocking.

Shocking.   That’s the only way to describe what Steve Stenger says about the victims of human sex-trafficking.  As an attorney, Stenger defended a notorious sex slave kingpin at the center of a nationwide sex trafficking ring.  Some of the girls forced into prostitution were as young as 13.  When describing the plight of the victims, Stenger said it was “a lifestyle they chose.”     Steve Stenger has shown that he will say or do anything to get elected, including running an irresponsible and reckless ad about a women’s shelter.  Now we learn that he’s painted victims of sex trafficking in the most deplorable way.  It’s clear that Steve Stenger had little regard for or understanding of their circumstances. It's one thing to say you were doing your job, but this goes too far.  How can we trust Steve Stenger now?   Human trafficking is not a lifestyle a woman chooses.  It’s a real and serious issue.  Charlie Dooley recognizes that and has been working to address it.   He’s committed to securing hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional funding in the upcoming budget to support expanded investigation and prosecution of sex traffickers.   For more facts about the Evans family sex-trafficking ring Stenger defended, visit www.stengerssecret.com Charlie has spent his lifetime in service to his county, community, and country.   Let’s keep the County moving forward with Charlie Dooley!   Vote Tuesday, August 5, 2014   Follow us on Twitter @TeamDooley2014!   Visit our website!

Stenger Misleads Voters Again

Steve Stenger continues his history of misleading voters and fabricating stories for his political gain.  You may have heard his claims about the cost of the County Courthouse.  If he had attended the Committee of the Whole meeting on May 8, 2012, with the rest of the County Council members, he would have understood that preliminary construction budgets indicated that more money was needed to build the courthouse.  Although he’s now critical of the increased construction budget, he didn’t speak up against the additional funds.  Which is it, Steve…are you for it or against it?  Once again, it’s hard to tell. For more information, please visit www.stengerssecret.com. Committee of the Whole attendance. Where was Steve? A clear discussion of the courthouse financing. Steve never said a word.
