Focused on the intersection between education and policy, Dickey announced his candidacy for a City Commission seat in Weston, Florida during the November 2012 elections.[6] Local media highlighted that, despite losing the election, Dickey, a college student at the time, gained 42% of the vote while spending under $425.
