Former U.S. Representative Mike Oxley, a 12-term Republican congressman from Ohio who co-sponsored a landmark 2002 law to fight corporate fraud, died on Friday at the age of 71, officials said. “Mike personified a true public servant who loved serving his constituents, Ohio, and the United States of America,” Oxley's successor in Congress, Representative Bob Latta, said in a statement. Oxley died while asleep at his home in McLean, Virginia, according to the Courier newspaper in Findlay, Ohio.
