State Chamber Of Oklahoma
The State Chamber of Oklahoma today promoted Jonathan Buxton to the position of Senior Vice President of Government Affairs. In this role, he will lead the Government Affairs Department which advocates on behalf of business at the State Capitol.
“Jonathan has been an integral part of our successful efforts over the past two years to make the state a better place to start and grow a business,” said State Chamber President and CEO Fred Morgan. “I’m confident he will lead our team of specialists to build on that success.”
Since joining the State Chamber in 2012, Buxton has focused on areas such as reforms to the Workers’ Compensation and public pension systems, health care, economic development and taxation.
“I’m proud of the work the Government Affairs team does on a daily basis for job creators in the state,” said Buxton. “We will continue to champion policies that reduce regulatory burdens and promote investment in Oklahoma.”
Buxton is a 2009 graduate of the Oklahoma City University School of Law and is a member of the Oklahoma Bar. Before joining the State Chamber, he worked for the Oklahoma House of Representatives as a research analyst. Buxton fills the position vacated by Gwendolyn Caldwell who left the State Chamber to start her own lobbying firm, Caldwell and Associates.
