Early life

Victoria Dooling was born in 1944 in Houston, Texas.[1] She was educated at the William Howard Taft High School in Woodland Hills, California, near Los Angeles.[1] She graduated from the Los Angeles Pierce College.[1]

Career

Dooling served as a Republican member of the Nevada Assembly, where she was elected in November 2014 to represent District 41, which includes Henderson, Nevada.[1] In March 2015, she proposed a bill that would require that access to segregated public school bathrooms be limited on the basis of biological sex rather than gender identity.[2][3][4] The bill, which was called by various sources "transphobic",[3][4] and one that struck "the perfect balance", "a needed safety measure",[5][6] was voted down by a bi-partisan majority.[7]
