Scoop with a Supe: Supervisor Matt Dorsey (D6)

Come join us in the next installment of our series: Scoop with a Supe!

This town hall style event is a great way to connect with your local supervisor and others in your community. Each ticket includes the price of a scoop of ice cream built in, provided by Smitten Ice Cream!

Supervisor Matt Dorsey represents District 6. Matt is a City government veteran who most recently served on the command staff of the SFPD as the department’s communications director.

Previously, Supervisor Dorsey served for fourteen years in the San Francisco City Attorney’s Office, where he worked to support groundbreaking cases around marriage equality, education access, public health, tenants rights, and worker protections.

Supervisor Dorsey is an out gay man who joined Supervisor Mandelman as the Board’s second LGBTQ member. He is also the only openly HIV positive member of the Board of Supervisors and the only current member to acknowledge his history with substance-use disorder.

Prior to joining SFPD in 2020, Dorsey led Tobacco-Free Kids’ communications strategy for the 2019 No on Prop C campaign, soundly defeating a multimillion-dollar ballot measure by vaping giant JUUL Labs, Inc. that became the most expensive per-vote loss in San Francisco history.

Supervisor Dorsey is committed to providing paths to recovery for those struggling with addiction, supporting new housing at all levels to meet growing demand, and investing in public safety resources to ensure that all people can feel safe in their communities.

Smitten Ice Cream serves the freshest, creamiest ice cream on the planet. Known for its ultra-smooth texture and craveable flavors, Smitten keeps things fresh by offering ever-evolving flavors alongside beloved classics.
Founded in San Francisco by Robyn Sue Fisher, Smitten began with a simple belief — ice cream tastes better when it’s made fresh. Robyn Sue invented and patented a machine that freezes ice cream in about 90 seconds, taking it straight to the streets. In 2017, she brought on Brooke Mosley, and together they worked together to develop a proprietary ice cream base and continued to craft even more nostalgic, unexpected flavors and experiences. In 2024, Robyn handed the reins to Brooke, ushering in the next chapter of Smitten.
Praised by Vogue as “the freshest, if not the best, ice cream on Earth,” and featured by Food & Wine, The Infatuation, Forbes, Wired, and TechCrunch, Smitten operates popular scoop shops in San Francisco and San Jose, along with a thriving catering business — and continues to find new ways to surprise and delight.
