Doug Foxley

As a Republican, Douglas Foxley has been a major presence in Utah politics since graduating from law school and beginning the lobbying practice in 1978. Mr. Foxley was a 2016 co-chairman of the reelection campaigns of Governor Gary Herbert and Congresswoman Mia Love. He has also served as a strategic advisor on numerous campaigns throughout his career - most notably his work as senior advisor for the 2012 Orrin Hatch reelection campaign and as a senior advisor to the Jon Huntsman for Governor campaigns.

Doug’s extensive political expertise and professional experience repeatedly proved invaluable to candidates and the clients he represented.  From 1985 to 1997, Doug served on the Utah State Board of Regents, where he served as chair for three years. From 2005 to 2013, Doug also served on the Utah State University Board of Trustees. Mr. Foxley is responsible for facilitating the organization of USU’s Institute of Government & Politics’ speaker series with the goal of engaging students, faculty, and the community in civic dialogue. This speaker-series has since been named “The Foxley Forum” in his honor.

Additionally, in May 2016 Doug was awarded an honorary doctorate from Utah State University.
