Dixon was convicted in late 2009 for taking gift cards meant for the city's poor.
It was a misdemeanor but also misconduct in office.
She resigned her post as mayor in 2010, giving way to then-council president and now Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.
As part of Dixon’s probation, she was prohibited from running for office for a certain amount of time. Well, time's up.
The last time Dixon ran for mayor was in 2007. In the primary that year, she captured 63 percent of the vote.
In the general election, 87 percent of voters selected her.
