Anne Bradbury is President and CEO of AXPC, a national trade association representing leading oil and natural gas exploration and production companies in the United States.

Bradbury is responsible for carrying out AXPC’s mission of educating and advocating for constructive solutions that support responsible American oil and gas development and promoting the inherent value of American-produced oil and natural gas.

Since being named CEO in December 2019, Bradbury has nearly tripled AXPC’s size, and has expanded AXPC’s presence on both Capitol Hill and across the Executive Branch as the leading authority for U.S. independent producers.

Often appearing in local and national publications, (e.g. The Washington Post, Bloomberg, and Financial Times), Bradbury works to educate the public, media, and policy stakeholders about the economic, national security, and environmental importance of American energy production.

Prior to AXPC, Bradbury served as one of the top legislative strategists and technicians in Congress as Floor Director to two successive Speakers of the House of Representatives and Deputy Floor Director in the Offices of both the Majority and Minority Leader. During her decade-long career on Capitol Hill, Bradbury was instrumental in the implementation and adoption of major rules packages and legislative initiatives ranging from reforms to national security and intelligence policy to health care, energy, transportation, trade, and education policy passed by the House of Representatives. Bradbury previously served as a partner at the Duberstein Group, and is a board member of the Congressional Institute.
