When Dotty was growing up in Woodland, families in town and those in the rural areas were closely connected. Woodland wasn’t just the inner city-it embraced the rural areas and families too. Everyone came together in the spirit of one community, and those experiences gave Dotty a lifelong connection to Yolo County’s agricultural roots and shared traditions.<\/p>\n
Her desire to serve as supervisor comes from her dedication to ensuring that Yolo County remains a strong, supportive, and connected place for all its residents-today and for generations to come.<\/p>\n\t
Dotty was born and raised in Woodland, attending Holy Rosary Elementary, Douglass Middle, and Woodland High School. Her family’s roots in the community run deep.<\/p>\n
In the early 1900s, Dotty’s great-grandfather opened the Electric Garage Company on Third and Main in downtown Woodland. What began as a shop repairing Studebaker horse-drawn wagons grew into the ninth automobile dealership established in California, originally known for converting gas-powered headlights into electric. The Electric Garage Company served Yolo County families for a century until her father, Lonny, retired and closed its doors.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Dotty grew up working in the family business, starting as a teenager in the shop and later transitioning to the office. Her grandmother taught her how to manage the company’s books, a skill that would help her earn a minor in accounting and launch her own bookkeeping and tax service to pay her way through college. Those early experiences instilled in her a strong work ethic, a sense of responsibility, and the importance of putting customers first-lessons that would guide her throughout her career in education, small business, and public service.<\/p>\n\t
Dotty knew from the time she was ten that she wanted to be a teacher. After earning her Master’s in English from CSU Sacramento, she spent 22 years teaching English and Latin, including 11 years as an adjunct English professor at Woodland Community College.<\/p>\n
