2010 Gubernatorial Campaign
On June 1, 2009 there was a draft campaign to see Senator Dockery run for Governor of Florida. On November 4, 2009 Dockery entered the race for Florida governor challenging FL Attorney General Bill McCollum for the Republican Nomination. Dockery dropped out of the race when it became clear that she would be unable to run a competitive campaign against Rick Scott, who spent nearly $50 million of his own money securing a bitterly-fought Republican primary victory.
After Scott's primary win, Dockery's name was floated as a potential running mate for Scott. On 30 August 2010, Dockery announced that she would not run for Lieutenant Governor at Scott's side.
