Capitol Weekly’s Top 100: Andrew Antwih

54. Andrew Antwih

Andrew Antwih is a president of one of California’s premier lobbying firms, Shaw Yoder Antwih Schmelzer and Lange, which through the first 15 months of the legislative cycle reported receiving the seventh most money from clients, $9.9 million. Antwih’s firm represents an astounding 90+ clients, including FedEx, the city of Los Angeles and the 
Humane Society of the United States as well as those in energy, healthcare, higher education, transportation, tech, land development, goods movement, air quality, labor, and local governments. Antwih spent nearly 13 years as a legislative staffer, with almost half of that time as chief consultant to the Assembly Transportation Committee. So, it’s no surprise his biggest claim to fame as a lobbyist is as an expert in transportation. Antwih is married to the California Teachers Association’s Teri Holoman (No. 7); together they form one of the Capitol’s top power couples.
