Sandra Doorley is the District Attorney for Monroe County, New York. She took office in January 2012, succeeding Michael Charles Green. Doorley is the first woman to serve as Monroe County District Attorney.
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. Running as a Democrat, 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 Republican Party. She was reelected later that year. "Don't judge me by the political party that I'm affiliated with," she said. "Look at the work that I've done."[3]
2024 traffic stop incident
On April 22, 2024, Doorley was spotted by Webster Police traveling at 55 mph in a 35 mph zone. The observing officer activated his emergency lights and siren and attempted to conduct a traffic stop, but Doorley did not pull over; instead, she drove home and called the Webster Chief of Police while being pursued.[4] Webster Police body cam footage shows Doorley displaying her badge, refusing to follow orders, and directing expletives at the investigating officer while repeatedly invoking her position. Doorley received a speeding ticket. In a statement the following day, Doorley apologized for her conduct and informed the public that she had pled guilty to the speeding ticket.[5]
