Dedy is a member of the SPD . A newspaper portrait said about Dedy:
“The general manager of the German Association of Cities is not actually intended in the state architecture of the Federal Republic of Germany, but is nonetheless present on all floors. Because the three municipal umbrella organizations can be understood as an invisible third chamber and their managing directors as the secretaries of the self-government. [...] [Dedy] has the advantage that he [among the three central associations] leads the association whose members, the large independent cities and cities, are particularly present in public. Its disadvantage is that its weight can only rarely be translated into political force through the constant balancing of the interests of the SPD and CDU mayors, of rich and poor. However, there is more than just a grand coalition between Dedy, a member of the SPD, and the President of the Association of Cities, the Mayor of Münster, Markus Lewe (CDU). "
