Adrian Jeremy Dickey (born October 23, 1973) is an American politician and a senator for the state of Iowa for District 44.[1]
Personal life
[edit | edit source]Dickey, the son of former Packwood Mayor Dave Dickey, was born in Packwood, Iowa in 1973. He resides there with his family.[2]
Dickey graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a Bachelor of Technology degree in Manufacturing Technology with an emphasis on Computer-aided Drafting and Design in 1995.[3]
In 2022, a TikTok user published videos saying she had cut ties with her father, a "Republican state senator", for advocating the Iowa Supreme Court to overturn abortion rights in the Planned Parenthood v. Reynolds (2022) decision, and for voting to pass House File 2416, which banned trans women and girls from female sports. According to the poster, she is Adrian Dickey's daughter, Korynn.[4][5]
In 2023, Dickey was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor during Iowa's RAGBRAI bike race. He was charged with interference with official acts for allegedly obstructing the bike race and refusing to move when directed by the Sac County Sheriff.[6] Charges were later dismissed.[7]
Political career
[edit | edit source]With Dave Loebsack's retirement, Mariannette Miller-Meeks resigned from her Iowa Senate, District 41 seat to fill the vacancy for Iowa's 2nd congressional district.[8] A special election was called for by Iowa governor Kim Reynolds to fill the vacancy left by Miller-Meeks.[9] Republican Packwood native Adrian Dickey defeated Democratic challenger Mary Stewart to win the vacant Iowa senate seat in January 2021.[10]
