Education
Doorley obtained a bachelor's degree from the University at Albany and received her law degree from Syracuse University.
Career
In November 2011, Doorley was elected Monroe County District Attorney defeating Republican candidate Bill Taylor. Doorley garnered almost 60% of the vote and over 78,000 individual votes. [1] She was sworn in on December 30, 2011 at the Rochester Girls and Boys Club. She became the first female to hold the office of District Attorney in Monroe County. Michael Charles Green (whom she succeeded) joined Doorley's office as an advisor [2] but left in February 2012 for another position.
In 2015, Doorley switched her party affiliation to the GOP, and was reelected later that year in an election. "Don't judge me by the political party that I'm affiliated with," she said. "Look at the work that I've done." [3]
On April 22, 2024, Doorley was spotted going 55 mph in a 35 mph residential area by Webster Police. The officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop, following with lights and sirens, but Doorley did not pull over and instead drove home while calling the Webster chief of police. [4] Doorley can be seen on Webster police body cam responding “I don’t care” when informed by the officer she was driving 20 mph over the limit, and that she “didn’t feel like stopping” when asked why she did not yield. The footage also shows Doorley repeatedly invoking her position as district attorney during the incident. Doorley was subsequently issued a speeding ticket. In a statement, Doorley said she pleaded guilty to speeding the following day. [5]
