Doug Reichley

Early life Reichley was born in 1961 in Washington D.C. and graduated from the Thomas S. Wootton High School in 1979.

Reichley worked as an associate attorney for Lightner Law Offices in Wescosville before being named Assistant District Attorney of Lehigh County from 1989 to 2000 and Philadelphia County from 2000 to 2001. He was also named State Public Official of the Year for 2010.

Reichley notably fought for the investigative department of the Pennsylvania gaming control board to become independent from the board itself, arguing that the department cannot function if it is still held responsible to the board it is supposed to be investigating. At the time in 2008 the gaming control board was embroiled in multiple scandals regarding casinos making campaign contributions. He also argued that since the tax credit system was already in place it would be more efficient than creating an entirely new government program.

Reichley resigned from the house on December 30, 2011 after being elected as a Judge to the Court of Common Pleas.

Lehigh County judge In June 2012 Reichley spoke at an event hosted by the Concerned East Penn Taxpayers Association in his hometown of Emmaus reflecting on his career in the house, and his new positions on the Pennsylvania Constitution.

On November 6, 2014, Reichley volunteered to serve on the Lower Macungie Township parks board to help make decisions about the township's parks and recreation offerings. Reichley argued that the parks board was "the least likely board to pose a conflict of interest" with his job as a judge.

Personal Reichley has served many posts in his community as president of the Allentown YMCA/YWCA, the Emmaus Kiwanis and on the board of the Lehigh Valley Crime Victims’ Council. He has also been an instructor at Lehigh University, the Allentown Police Academy, Northampton County Community College, and DeSales University and had taught fellow prosecutors at meetings of the Pennsylvania District Attorneys’ Association and the Pennsylvania Bar Institute.
