Timeline
Leon William Paxon (born April 29, 1954) is an American lobbyist and former member of the United States House of Representatives from New York.
Paxon graduated from St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute high school in 1972, and then from Canisius College.
He was elected to the Erie County Legislature in November 1977 at the age of 23, making him the youngest member ever when elected.
In addition, he holds honorary doctorates from Daemen College, Roberts Wesleyan College and Canisius College.
Paxon was a member of the New York State Assembly from 1983 to 1988, sitting in the 185th, 186th and 187th New York State Legislatures.
From 1989 to 1999, he served five terms in Congress.
Paxon was born in Akron, New York, near Buffalo.
At the age of 15, Paxon volunteered for the first congressional campaign of former Buffalo Bills quarterback Jack Kemp.
He was elected to the 101st, 102nd, 103rd, 104th and 105th United States Congresses, holding office from January 3, 1989, to January 3, 1999.
In 1992, Paxon was elected to chair the National Republican Congressional Committee.
They married on July 3, 1994 and live in Alexandria, Virginia.
Kemp, decades later, was the Republican Vice Presidential nominee in 1996.
In the summer of 1997 several House Republicans, who saw Newt Gingrich's public image as a liability, attempted to replace him as Speaker.
The challenge began July 9 with a meeting between Republican conference chairman John Boehner of Ohio and Republican leadership chairman Paxon.
According to their plan, House Majority Leader Dick Armey, House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, Boehner and Paxon were to present Gingrich with an ultimatum: resign, or be voted out.
However, Armey balked at the proposal to make Paxon the new Speaker, and told his chief of staff to warn Gingrich about the coup.
On July 11, Gingrich met with senior Republican leadership to assess the situation.
He explained that under no circumstance would he step down.
If he was voted out, there would be a new election for Speaker, which would allow for the possibility that Democrats, along with dissenting Republicans, would vote in Dick Gephardt as Speaker.
On July 16, Paxon offered to resign his post, feeling he had not handled the situation correctly, as the only member of the leadership who had been appointed to his position, by Gingrich, instead of elected.
Gingrich accepted Paxon's resignation and directed Paxon to immediately vacate his leadership office space.
Paxon later considered, then rejected, a challenge to Armey's post as majority leader.
He instead decided that he would not run for re-election in 1998.
After leaving Congress, Paxon became an advisor to GOP congressional members.
Following his 21-year public service career, Paxon joined the law firm of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, where, since January 1999, he has advised a wide range of public and private sector clients on policy issues.
He has consistently been rated one of Washington's top lobbyists.
Paxon was hired by Boeing to lobby members of Congress.
While in Congress, the conservative Paxon worked closely with moderate then Rep. Susan Molinari R-Staten Island, who is now a lobbyist.
Paxon chaired the Republican House Leadership committee during the 105th Congress.
