    She has my vote. When I went through the corrections academy in 2001 she was one of my instructors and was a very knowledgable, humourous, and professional person. Good luck and best wishes.

    Anyone who knows or has had any dealings with Judge Dickey knows she is extremely ethical and honest! We could use an entire county full of elected officials identical to her! I will be first in line to place my vote for her!

    I previously worked with Judge Dickey at the Sheriffs Office and found her to be an all around professional. I had a chance to work on a few projects for her and found that she was more interested in doing what was right instead of what was easiest or most popular. Once becoming a judge, I saw that she was fair and based her decisions on common sense. One might think that since she spent most of her time on these enforcement/prosecutor side, that she would be harder on the accused and give breaks to Leo’s. That has not been the case. She is well respected and I believe her career as a judge will take her much further than escambia county court. I hope you will all support her because she is one of the good ones.

    She should certainly serve as an inspiration to anyone who has aspirations of serving within the judiciary.
