Join your host, Greg Howard Jr, as he sits down with Alabama State Senate Candidate Dr. John Dickey to discuss politics, spirituality, and whether or not hot dogs are tacos.
A native of North Alabama, Dr. John Dickey is running for the Alabama State Senate in District 3. Raised by a farmer, Dr. Dickey learned the value of hard work and grit early in life. While their mother faced significant health challenges, her resilience and ability to find joy in every circumstance left a lasting impression on the family.
The greatest inspiration for Dr. Dickey’s career in public service, however, was their grandfather. A man who remained tirelessly dedicated to his neighbors long after retirement, he modeled the belief that community service is a lifelong calling. It is this legacy of selfless leadership that Dr. Dickey intends to bring to Montgomery.
Dr. Dickey offers a unique blend of practical experience and academic rigor:
Deep Roots: Years spent working cattle and understanding the agricultural backbone of Alabama.
Educational Dedication: Experience teaching students of all ages, providing a firsthand look at the needs of the classroom.
Academic Excellence: A Doctorate in Political Science from the University of Tennessee, providing the policy expertise necessary to navigate complex legislative issues.
Dr. Dickey believes that government should be a tool for solving problems and serving the taxpayers. Their platform is built on four key pillars:
Education: Ensuring schools have the resources to prepare children for the modern workforce.
Economic Growth: Supporting local businesses to foster a thriving regional economy.
Housing & Infrastructure: Improving access to affordable housing for Alabama families.
Healthcare: Protecting and expanding access to quality care for all citizens.
Dr. Dickey is running because they believe in the potential of North Alabama. With a firm conviction that the community's best days are ahead, Dr. Dickey is ready to work for the prosperity and progress every Alabamian deserves.
