A Republican and a conservative, he was first elected commissioner in 1994[2] and was reelected in 1998,[3] 2002,[4] and 2006.[5] Prior to entering politics, Oxendine owned and operated a law firm and was a Georgia Bar Certified lawyer[6] practicing in Gwinnett County, Georgia.
Oxendine is currently leading in the polls[7] in the race for Governor of Georgia in 2010[8] to succeed the term-limited Sonny Perdue.
Oxendine began his career working on several gubernatorial campaigns and was later appointed by Governor Joe Frank Harris to the State Personnel Board, by the time Governor Harris was ending his term Oxendine had been promoted Chairman of the the State Personnel Board[9]. Oxendine brought change to the OIC by creating a culture of customer service, by keeping the office open eleven hours a day (8am-7pm), and reorganizing the Consumer Services Division-to date more than 182 million in disputed claims has been recovered for the Georgians.[10][11], changing the culture to a "consumer friendly" atmosphere, and creating the Georgia Telemedicine Program in Georgia[12].
Early life and career
Oxendine was born in Nashville, Tennessee; he is the son of James W. Oxendine and Louise Oxendine, and has two sisters. He grew up in Tucker, Georgia in Dekalb County where he graduated from Tucker High School in 1980. Oxendine attributes his interest in politics to his father who has been a Senior Superior Court Judge in Gwinnett County since Oxendine was in school. Oxendine was active in scholastic activities all four years at Tucker High School and regularly went hunting, a tradition that he continues today with his children.
He triple majored in Christianity, Greek, and political science at Mercer University, earning his Bachelor of Arts in 1984 with a 4.0 GPA. During College he worked at the Georgia State Capitol to pay for his tuition as a student assistant to Governor George Busbee. Oxendine stayed on to attend Walter F. George School of Law at Mercer, where he continued being active in student organizations including the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity and graduated with his Juris Doctorate in 1987.[13]
Upon graduation of law school at Mercer, Oxendine took over the family law practice, Oxendine and Associates, located in Gwinnett County, from his father. Oxendine and Associates concentrated in helping small businesses navigate the bureaucracy required when doing business with the federal government.[citation needed] Oxendine owned and ran this small business until he took the office of Insurance Commissioner in January 1995.[14]
Oxendine married Ivy Adams, whom had also been a student at Mercer, and together they have three children, J.W. (17), Phillip (12) and Caroline (10). The family faithfully attends Mount Pisgah United Methodist Church where he serves as an usher. He currently resides in unincorporated Peachtree Corners, near Duluth, Georgia, in Gwinnett County.[15]
The Oxendines are expecting their fourth child, Jake Oxendine, on July 6th.
Education
Oxendine graduated from Tucker High School in 1980. He then received a Bachelor of Arts with a triple major in Christianity, Greek, and political science from [Mercer University]].[citation needed] He received a Juris Doctorate from Mercers Walter F. George School of Law in 1987. He was a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity while at Mercer.
Political career
Early years
Oxendine began his political life as a student assistant to Governor George Busbee. Oxendine later worked on the campaign staff of Joe Frank Harris, who was elected Governor and appointed Oxendine as Chairman of the State Personnel Board.
Election as Insurance Commissioner
In the 1994 election, Oxendine opposed incumbent Democratic Insurance Commissioner Tim Ryles, a controversial[clarification needed] consumer advocate who had strained relations with the business community and his party's leadership. Oxendine chose to avoid these issues and stayed positive in the race.[citation needed] He instead focused on issues that resonated with the voters on election day. Helped by the Republican takeover of Congress and an independent expenditure by the insurance industry, Oxendine upset Ryles, winning 50.98% of the vote.
U.S. Senate campaign
When United States Senator Paul Coverdell died suddenly in 2000, Oxendine was inundated with calls urging him to run for the open Senate seat. Oxendine decided against running and gave a Shermanesque Statement. Later Oxendine and Republican leaders settled for former U.S. Senator Mack Mattingly as their candidate; Mattingly was defeated by former governor Zell Miller.
In early 2003, Miller announced he would not seek reelection to the Senate, prompting Oxendine to consider running for the seat. On January 8, 2003, Oxendine told the Atlanta Business Chronicle that "We've had countless people across the state asking us to run for the [U.S.] Senate, and I told people I was flattered by their faith in me and that I would consider it. I did consider it to the point of commissioning a poll and the results were every encouraging. It turned out I am one of the best-known and liked politicians in the state."[citation needed] However, when long-time friend Congressman Johnny Isakson announced his candidacy a month later, Oxendine endorsed Isakson and restated his intention to serving out his term as Insurance Commissioner.
Campaign for Lieutenant Governor
In early 2004, Oxendine announced his intent to run for Lieutenant Governor of Georgia in 2006. Oxendine again showed his fundraising abilities and raised approximately $500,000 for his campaign in a couple months[16]. In February 2005, after State Senator Casey Cagle and Christian political consultant Ralph Reed joined the race for Lieutenant Governor, Oxendine released polling data showing that he led his two opponents. and reiterated his intent to remain in the race. However, Oxendine later announced that he would run for reelection as Insurance Commissioner. Speculation by some observers that Oxendine was leaving open a return to the Lieutenant Governor's race ended when qualifying ended on April 28, 2006.
2006 campaign
In the November election, Oxendine defeated Drexinger in a rout, taking 65.6 percent of the vote to Drexinger's 34.4 percent. Oxendine carried 159 of Georgia's 159 counties, including normally Democratic leaning Fulton, Athens-Clarke, Augusta-Richmond and Doughtery Counties. [17] This was the best showing ever for a state-wide Republican candidate in Georgia.
Although Oxendine was generally regarded as likely to win re-election as Insurance Commissioner, Drexinger was a Democratic attorney Guy Drexinger with the backing of former Governor Roy Barnes. Drexinger raised substantial funds and was Oxendine's strongest challenger since Oxendine defeated Ryles in 1994.
With Republicans maintaining the Governorship and Insurance Commissioner, picking up the Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Georgia seemed almost immune from the anti-Republican sentiment that was prevalent across the rest of the nation.
As Insurance Commissioner
As Insurance Commissioner, John Oxendine brought reforms to the office, expanding the office hours to make the department more consumer friendly, building a customer satisfaction culture, and creating Georgia's first Telemedicine Program.[18]
Heading the first major state agency under Republican control, John Oxendine has pioneered the application of business principles to Georgia state government.
Since becoming the first Republican to control a state agency, Oxendine has consistently run the department under budget, returning money to the taxpayers every year he has been in office.[19]
John Oxendine has brought the power of the private sector to bear in addressing Georgia's challenges. His creative, public-private partnership to develop the most comprehensive telemedicine program in the United States has expanded the availability of first-class healthcare to every Georgia citizen without spending taxpayer dollars.[20]
For his work on behalf of Georgia consumers and health care providers, John Oxendine was awarded the American Medical Association's highest honor, the only Insurance Commissioner to receive the David Award.[21]
2nd Amendment; Strong proponent of Right to Bear Arms
Mr. Oxendine has publicly stated that he is a member of National Rifle Association, the Georgia Sports Shooting Association, and GeorgiaCarry.org [22]. He says that he offers unapologetic, unqualified support of the Second Amendment. He says that he "will always have an appetite to protect and defend the Second Amendment."
Future ambitions
With Gov. Sonny Perdue term limited in 2010, Oxendine has filed paperwork to run for the Republican nomination for Governor. [2] Oxendine is the current front runner in the race for Governor and is running as the reform candidate[23]. Oxendine has been the consistent leader among the polls for Governor and the only Republican who polls ahead of former Governor Roy Barnes[24][25][26][27].

Controversy
Controversial use of Blue Lights
In 2001, the State Fire Marshall and Insurance Commissioners office permit to use emergency lights and sirens was revoked after the GBI investigation discovered repeated misuses. The report revealed that the blue light and siren had been used to get through traffic. Therefore, the Georgia Department of Public Safety revoked Oxendine's emergency light permit and ordered the blue lights be removed from his automobile.
In the case that sparked the GBI investigation, the commissioner's Crown Victoria was totaled. Oxendine gave a valid explanation as to why he was driving with his emergency equipment engaged.
2009 Campaign finance controversy
In May 2009, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution revealed that Oxendine had received over $120,000 in campaign contributions from 10 different Political Action Conference's in the State of Alabama.[28] The reporter found all 10 political action committees donated the maximum contribution allowed by law[29]. After further investigated digging, it was found that records of The Alabama Secretary of State's Office showed the PACs all had the similar addresses and the same chairperson, the son of lawyer and businessman Donald V. Watkins.
“It’s not like an oversight or I didn’t know what the law was,” Oxendine said. “We received it from completely different sources, and they are not common.” Oxendine added later, “I don’t want you to think we had the intent of doing anything inappropriate.”[30]
In one instance (7 years prior to the contributions), discussed in a 2002 federal appellate decision involving Oxendine, the company funding the PACs sought and received approval from Oxendine for the special sale of an insurance company it owned.
Once the suspiciousness was realized and brought to Oxendines attention, Oxendine immediately returned the funds to their donor awaiting a legal opinion. The story was written a week later.[31][32]
