EducationRaised in Atlantic City, New Jersey,[1] Dorsey holds a B.S., International Relations from the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service.[2] CareerDorsey joined the Economic Policy Institute in 2008. Dorsey worked to build awareness of economic policy matters on a grassroots level with a goal of educating and mobilizing both middle class and disenfranchised communities for equally shared prosperity.[3] Dorsey also served as the executive director of the Bonder and Amanda Johnson Community Development Corporation, and as executive director for The Reading Connection, a Northern Virginia-based non-profit organization that provides literacy programs for children.[4] In November 2015, Dorsey was first elected to the Arlington County Board for its 2016 term. He served as vice-chair in 2018, and as chair in 2019; and again as vice-chair in 2022 and as chair in 2023 until his resignation from the Board on December 31, 2023.[5] On October 16, 2019, Dorsey declared personal bankruptcy before being re-elected to the Arlington County Board in November.[6] Running largely unopposed and not required to disclose the filing, Dorsey did not notify the public of his bankruptcy. He later clarified that he "should have had a conversation with the community, no matter how difficult."[6] In November 2019, Dorsey was stripped of his chairmanship of the Washington Metro's Finance Committee for failing to disclose a $10,000 donation from Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689 for four months. In January 2020, Dorsey falsely stated he had already returned the donation.[6] In February, Dorsey wrote a reimbursement check that remained uncashed for 5 months, apparently lost in the mail. On July 30, 2020, Dorsey reimbursed the donation and submitted a picture of a cashier's check to various news outlets.[7] In December 2020, a judge dismissed Dorsey's bankruptcy case under a fraud statute, finding that Dorsey had made an overt misrepresentation to the court.[8] References
