"Dorsey's battles with addiction and subsequent recoveries have become his core political identity. During the pandemic he relapsed into a methamphetamine addiction not once but twice."
"In a different time or place, a police department higher-up buying and consuming hardcore drugs and relapsing multiple times would've been fodder for an attack ad."
"Dorsey is carrying legislation to create drug-free supportive housing, and it's hard to see how it won't advance."
"Dorsey said at a public interview last week, 'Guilty as charged. I struggle with brevity.'"
Matt Dorsey, the District 6 supervisor, is committed to creating drug-free permanent supportive housing for individuals in recovery. His sincerity is recognized even by critics, and he believes in the importance of such housing to help formerly homeless individuals. Dorsey's legislation, while complex, aims to address addiction issues directly. His personal struggles with addiction, including relapses during the pandemic, have shaped his political identity and approach to recovery, making him a unique figure in San Francisco's political landscape.
