Capitol Weekly’s Top 100: Fiona Hutton

46. Fiona Hutton

LA-based communications expert Fiona Hutton wasn’t on the earliest editions of the Top 100 list, which were heavily weighted toward Sacramento locals. Her omission – or rather the response to her omission from people in the know who couldn’t believe we’d left her off – made us realize that we needed to broaden our scope, and she’s been on the list ever since. Hutton’s nonpartisan public affairs firm, Fiona Hutton and Associates, has an eclectic client list; top clients have included Sutter Health, State Water Contractors, California State Parks Foundation, Health Net, Los Angeles Department of Water & Power and Comcast among others. The firm has been involved in some of the most closely watched issues at the State Capitol, including health access and equity, energy/grid reliance, drought/climate, sustainability, and infrastructure and handles everything from reputation management to issue advocacy to legislative drills and regulatory challenges. Hutton currently serves on the boards of directors for the California Chamber of Commerce, Ojai Valley Land Conservancy and, full disclosure, on the board of Open California, the nonprofit, nonpartisan publisher of Capitol Weekly.
