After retiring from the Air Force as a Lieutenant Colonel, Allen Medford moved to O’Fallon in 1993 when his wife, CeCe, accepted a civil service position at Scott Air Force Base.
When someone wanted to put in a racetrack on the east side of town in the mid-90’s, Alderman Medford began attending committee meetings and council meetings, getting to know city staff and officials.
He first ran for office in 1997 and has never looked back. Through his dedicated service on the Community Development and Public Works Committees, Alderman Medford has accomplished many things for both the citizens of Ward 4 and the O’Fallon commity as a whole.
