SACRAMENTO, CA – John Latimer of Capitol Advocacy was listed in the 2018 edition of Capitol Weekly’s “Top 100”:
“John Latimer is managing partner of Capitol Advocacy, which has seven lobbyists and two legislative analysts who target business regulation, tort reform, consumer concerns and environmental regulation, among other issues. There are scores of clients, including Comcast, American Airlines, 21st Century Fox, a number of cities in San Diego County, Jack in the Box and L.A. County, to name a handful. After a stint as a Capitol staffer, Latimer tried a 1998 run for an Assembly seat, but was defeated in the primary. That may have been a blessing in disguise, however, because a year later he set up his own lobbying shop and the rest, as they say, is history. When he was in the Capitol, he served as a top consultant to key committees, including Assembly Appropriations, Assembly Governmental Organization and Assembly Transportation Committee, as well as chief of staff to a member. His issues included tax policy, infrastructure finance, alcoholic beverage policy, environmental regulation, health care and utility de-regulation. Capitol Advocacy handles most of those issues, and more, so his years spent in the Legislature proved valuable, indeed.”
