Dawsonville – Dawson County resident Emory Dooley formally announces his intentions to run for the Dawson County Board of Commissioners District 4 seat in the May 2020 Republican Primary

“The top priorities within my life are my Christian faith, my family, and my community.” said Dooley. “Upon learning that Commissioner Nix – who has served tirelessly and with a great passion for our county – was not going to be seeking re-election, I felt that the timing was right to use the talents with which God has blessed me, along with my experiences gained from service in this community to bring conservative, fiscally responsible principles to our county government with a common sense approach to leadership.”

A native of the Coal Mountain and Silver City area within northern Forsyth County, Dooley has lived in Dawson County for the past decade, where he has been active in serving his local community. Dooley presently serves as the Chairman of the board for the United Way of Dawson County, as well as an appointed member of the Dawson County Planning Commission. He has also served as a longtime past board member for Kare for Kids, Inc., a non-profit which sponsors the annual Mountain Moonshine Festival as part of its fundraising efforts that provides over $100,000 annually to children in need within the Dawson County community.

Dooley is a summa cum laude graduate of the University of North Georgia and currently serves as the General Manager of 400 Waste & Scrap, LLC, where he oversees the day to day operations of the business.

When asked about his interest in serving Dawson County, Dooley responded: “In my professional career and civic involvement, I have been blessed to work with and develop friendships with many of the citizens of our county, and I would like to help ensure that this community continues to be vibrant, successful and one that our residents are proud to call home.”

He is married to Mary Claire Dooley, who works as a public elementary school teacher. They attend Concord Baptist Church, where he is a longtime member.
