The Association of Oregon Counties (AOC) has hired Tim Dooley as its new legislative affairs manager, covering issues related to public safety and veterans.

Dooley brings a wealth of experience in public records management, public safety, and law enforcement administration. Before joining AOC, he oversaw records departments in both a city police department and a sheriff’s office in Oregon, serving as a subject matter expert on public records law and crime data. Dooley led initiatives to modernize public records processes and played a key role in legislative efforts for local government. 

“Tim’s dedication to public service paired with his leadership in local government make him an excellent addition to AOC, and we look forward to the positive impact he will make,” said Gina Nikkel, AOC executive director.

Dooley’s first day was Sept. 16.
