Matthew Paxton
Before joining
CCA, Paxton was senior counsel to the U.S. Senate Committee on
Commerce, Science and Transportation. He spent more than five years
in the U.S. Senate working on legislative and policy issues focused
primarily on natural resources, environment and fisheries matters.
As senior counsel on the Commerce Committee, he worked on the
development and drafting of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006. He also
oversaw several subcommittees that dealt with fisheries issues and
policy, and worked almost exclusively on the Magnuson-Stevens Act
for the chairman of the committee at that time, Senator Ted Stevens
(R-AK).
Before joining the Commerce Committee, Paxton was the Legislative Director for Sen. Stevens where he worked on numerous legislative and policy issues involving fisheries in the North Pacific. He earned his degree in Political Science from the University of Washington and his Juris Doctor from Willamette University College of Law. He is a member of the Washington State Bar Association.
