Capitol Weekly’s Top 100: Fiona Hutton

No. 85 Fiona Hutton

Fiona Hutton is based in Los Angeles, but somehow she always seems to be in the thick of meaty Capitol issues like healthcare, technology, energy, conservation, natural resources, state parks and California’s complex water system. There are good reasons for that; she is tough, tenacious, independent and very strategic, which is why from ballot measures to reputation management Hutton is on almost everyone’s “first call” list. Her eclectic client roster includes the likes of Comcast, Amazon, SoCal Gas, Sutter Health, the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power and NBC Universal, all major players here in Sacramento. On that last front, she is a big part of the media giant’s strategy for handling all the logistics behind its coverage of the 2028 Olympic Games being held in Los Angeles. By the way, this year marks Fiona Hutton & Associates’ 25th anniversary.
