Name: Arthur Medley  


Age: 45


Occupation: Trial Attorney


Hometown: Dothan


Party: Republican


Primary Election: March 1


Family: Wife, Tina; three children: Chase, Hamilton and Caroline


Background: University of Alabama School of Law – J.D.; Auburn University – B.S. College of Business – Human Resource Management.  Licensed and practicing attorney for 18 years.  Worked in Henry-Houston County District Attorney’s office for six years, 2003-2009.  Promoted to Chief Trial Attorney in 2008 by Valeska.  While working in the District Attorney’s office, in addition to trying major cases such as child-victim sex crimes, robberies, burglaries, assaults and murders, including capital murders, along with a multitude of drug manufacturing and drug trafficking charges, he conducted the Grand Jury and handled all of the civil asset forfeiture cases for both counties.  He also provided training to other assistant district attorneys and some area district attorneys as part of their mandatory continuing legal education requirements.  Tailored training seminars were also designed and presented to various law enforcement agencies in an effort to enhance the working relationship as well as better and more effective application of the law.  He has continued to maintain and hone his trial skills by trying a multitude of criminal jury trials in private practice.  This experience gives him the unique perspective of preparing and trying cases from both sides.


Mission Statement: to protect the citizens of Henry and Houston Counties by aggressively and successfully prosecuting criminals while engaging in community-based crime prevention programs.


Platform:  Arthur Medley believes the job of District Attorney has two equally important parts: proactive programs in our schools and in our community aimed at helping prevent people from ever becoming victims; and aggressive prosecution of criminals when crimes have already occurred.


Arthur Medley pledges to the citizens of Henry and Houston Counties that the law will be applied fairly and equally to all.  There is no room for personal opinions or politics to persuade the application of the law.  His focus is to enforce the law, not the politics.


Arthur Medley believes in being proactive and crime prevention programs will be a priority.  He is committed to developing community oriented programs to teach our citizens how to protect themselves from becoming crime victims.  These programs will also foster and strengthen the relationship between the community and law enforcement and the district attorney.  With better relationships and communication crime prevention and crime solving becomes easier and more effective.


Arthur Medley recognizes and accepts that we must become more innovative in our solutions to crimes.  We cannot continue to recycle the same defendants from prison to our streets back to prison.  We must break the cycle by partnering with local agencies and businesses to provide educational programs and work skills training in an effort to curb the number of repeat offenders.  The goal is to fashion productive and contributing members to our community.  Our tax dollars cannot continue to bear the cost of warehousing these offenders.  By making efforts like this, then there will be plenty of room in our prisons for those offenders that molest our children or break into our homes and rob our businesses.


Arthur Medley believes the District Attorney and his office serves the people.  Accordingly, he encourages talking between the citizens and himself to identify issues and methods to deal with the same.  His door will always be open and accessible to everyone.
