Capitol Advocacy, a prominent Sacramento lobbying firm, celebrates 20 years in the business this month. Founder John Latimer sat down to chat with Capitol Weekly’s John Howard and Tim Foster about the nuts and bolts of the of lobbying, the impact — or not — of term limits and what’s changed since he launched the firm two decades ago.
One big change, of course, is the new administration of Gov. Gavin Newsom, and Latimer — as well as other lobbyists — are navigating the emerging political landscape as they represent the interests of their clients.
