Testimonials

“Tom is one of the most capable and thorough advocates in Sacramento. He is experienced in a wide range of policy arenas and able to discern the best strategy and tactics for addressing important policy concerns. His experience in the executive and legislative branches, as well as his extensive third house associations give him an edge in succeeding in any venture before him.”

““I’ve known Tom personally and professionally since I recruited him to work for the Senate Fiscal Office in 1999. We went after Tom hard because we knew he was a star. His star only rose during his tenure with us. Later, Tom served as my Chief Deputy Director for Budgets while I was California’s Director of Finance. I’ve always thought the role of Chief Deputy was harder than that of Director — more work, more chance for error. Tom was masterful in that very trying position. Tom’s exposure in all of these roles has given him a depth and breadth of knowledge on matters involving state government that will always keep him in demand by clients who need to understand, work with and persuade key political and administrative leaders in California’s state government.”

“I have known Tom for nearly two decades. He has a tremendous grasp of legislative and regulatory issues in California. His ability to testify on hundreds of bills at a hearing and have command of the key fiscal facts on each one added great value to the Governor’s ability to influence the legislation headed to his desk. Tom had the respect of the legislators, senior administration officials and the outside interested groups. Tom represented the Administration with the utmost candor and due diligence.””
