Oxley was elected a U.S. Representative in 1981 in a special election to fill the vacancy caused by the death of U.S. Representative Tennyson Guyer. Oxley began serving at this post in June 1981 in the 97th Congress.[1]

He served as the chairman of the Committee on Financial Services, and was House sponsor of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002, which enacted "sweeping post-Enron regulations of publicly traded companies."[2] He was also the House sponsor of a 2006 bill that condemned media outlets that had published information on a covert financial surveillance system.[3]

Oxley announced his retirement from Congress on November 1, 2005, effective at the end of his term in 2007. He was succeeded by Republican Jim Jordan.[4]

Post-congressional career

Following his retirement from Congress, Oxley was named a nonexecutive vice chairman for NASDAQ,[5] and a partner at the law firm of BakerHostetler in Washington, D.C.[2] He later became a lobbyist for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the "self-regulatory body of the securities industry."[6]

Oxley, a non-smoker, was diagnosed with lung cancer around 2006, and became a member of the Lung Cancer Alliance board.[7] He died in McLean, Virginia, on January 1, 2016, from the disease.[8][9][10]
