20+ years

Gary Oxley established Oxley & Associates, Inc. in 1992, after serving as the Development & Government Affairs Manager for The Southland Corporation, a multi-level corporation that included the 7-Eleven Store chain and its subsidiaries. He has grown the firm into a multi-state, independent, full-service political and public affairs firm that represents a distinguished list of clients, including some of Oregon's largest employers. The broad range of issues that impact the firm's large portfolio of clients reflects the depth of public policy knowledge and related strategic skills that he brings into every advocacy situation he is asked to engage in at any point in time.

Gary has been actively involved in local politics and has been appointed to serve on a variety of state and local policy committees. He is a co-founder of the Retail Task Force (a coalition of real estate developers, realtors, national commercial tenants, and land use consultants). Gary previously served as a member of the Portland City Club's Land Use and Economic Development Committee, the State Health Department's Food Service Advisory Board, the Liquor Control Commission's Package Store Advisory Committee, and the Board of the Oregon Trail Chapter of the American Red Cross. Gary is a member and past director of the Capitol Club.
