**Arthur Daniel Healey** (December 29, 1889 – September 16, 1948) was a [Democratic](/source/Democratic_Party_(United_States)) [United States Representative](/source/United_States_Representative) from [Massachusetts](/source/Massachusetts) from 1933 to 1942 and a [United States district judge](/source/United_States_federal_judge) of the [United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts](/source/United_States_District_Court_for_the_District_of_Massachusetts).

## Education and career

Born in [Somerville, Massachusetts](/source/Somerville%2C_Massachusetts), Healey attended public schools and graduated from Somerville Latin School in 1908. He attended [Dartmouth College](/source/Dartmouth_College) in 1909 and 1910.[1] Healey received a [Bachelor of Laws](/source/Bachelor_of_Laws) from [Boston University School of Law](/source/Boston_University_School_of_Law) in 1913,[2] was admitted to the bar in 1914,[1] and engaged in the private practice of law in [Boston](/source/Boston) from 1914 to 1917.[2] On August 9, 1917, he enlisted in the [United States Army](/source/United_States_Army) and rose through the ranks to second lieutenant in the [Quartermaster Corps](/source/Quartermaster_Corps). He was discharged on March 6, 1919.[1] He then returned to his law practice until 1933.[2]

## Congressional service

Healey was elected as a [Democrat](/source/Democratic_Party_(United_States)) to an open seat for [Massachusetts's 8th congressional district](/source/Massachusetts's_8th_congressional_district) beginning with the [73rd United States Congress](/source/73rd_United_States_Congress), taking office on March 4, 1933.[1] He was returned to the four succeeding Congresses. His name was attached to one significant piece of New Deal legislation, the 1936 [Walsh–Healey Act](/source/Walsh%E2%80%93Healey_Public_Contracts_Act), which regulated hours and working conditions for employees working on government contracts.[3] In 1938, he became one of the initial members of the newly created [House Un-American Activities Committee](/source/House_Un-American_Activities_Committee).[4]

## Federal judicial service

Healey served in Congress until he resigned to accept an appointment as a judge of the [United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts](/source/United_States_District_Court_for_the_District_of_Massachusetts).[1] President [Franklin D. Roosevelt](/source/Franklin_D._Roosevelt) nominated Healey on December 1, 1941, to the seat on that court which had been vacated by Judge [Elisha Hume Brewster](/source/Elisha_Hume_Brewster).[2] Healey was confirmed by the [United States Senate](/source/United_States_Senate) on December 16, 1941, and received his commission on December 19, 1941,[2] but remained in Congress until August 3, 1942. Healey thereafter served on the court until his death in Somerville on September 16, 1948.[2] He is buried in Oak Grove Cemetery in [Medford](/source/Medford%2C_Massachusetts), Massachusetts.[1] The Arthur D. Healey School in Somerville is a public elementary school named after him.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]
