Megan and I took the night off from walking doors and visiting with voters to watch the "Sound of Freedom". If you haven’t watched it yet, you should. Human trafficking isn’t just in third world countries. It’s right here in Mississippi. But I have a plan to combat it here in DeSoto County.

We simply cannot take any chances with Memphis as our neighbor.

As D.A., I will modernize the office with state-of-the art technology that allows us to keep up with the more advanced ways criminals operate and protect our children from sexual predators.

I will hire investigators with specialized skill sets, and cross train ALL employees to serve as victim assistance coordinators and human trafficking advocates.

Our great AG Lynn Fitch is doing phenomenal work to move Mississippi ahead of the curve, and we will join her efforts by sending our employees to their integrated trainings, so we can dissolve their networks.

And finally, as D.A., I will be out in the public and join our new sheriff in educating the public in ways to stay vigilant, aware, and protect our children from sexual exploitation.

These methodologies will allow us to strengthen our responsiveness to this form of modern slavery and eradicate it from north Mississippi.

Meet Matthew Barton

Matthew Barton grew up in Petal, Mississippi in a blue-collar family. His mother was a director at Tupperware and his father owned the small, family business – Barton Fence Company – where Matthew worked growing up.

After attending public school, Matthew attended Pearl River Community College and Warner University, where he studied Business Administration. He holds a law degree from Ole Miss Law, where he graduated Cum Laude and received the interviewing and counseling award.

In 2011, Matthew married his high school sweetheart, Megan. After graduating from Ole Miss Law in 2015, they moved to DeSoto County where Matthew started a law firm and Megan continued working at the Desoto County Schools as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant.

During law school, Matthew served as an intern in the DeSoto County District Attorney’s Office where he presented cases to grand jury, tried cases to verdict, and performed all functions of a practicing attorney. He has served as a prosecutor for the City of Southaven and the City of Horn Lake and now serves as a special prosecutor for Southaven, Horn Lake, and DeSoto County Justice Courts – where he’s established a strict, tough on crime reputation.
