Capitol Weekly’s Top 100: Scott Wetch

75. Scott Wetch

As a commissioner with the California State Athletic Commission, we’re going to make the presumption that Scott Wetch is boxing fan. With that in mind, a famous quote attributed to Muhammad Ali – “It’s not bragging if you can back it up” – sure seems to apply to him. As we’ve said before in our bios for him on this list, Wetch has a reputation for being arrogant. But even his harshest critics will also tell you he is excellent at his job, with a laser focus on his clients, who love him. His firm, Carter, Wetch & Associates, represents a slew of labor unions as well as Amazon, Price Waterhouse Coopers and Verizon. He doesn’t always win, but – and forgive another sports analogy – with Wetch in their corner, his clients know they’re never out of a fight.
