Capitol Weekly’s Top 100: Kassy Perry

89. Kassy Perry

Kassy Perry has long been one of the Capitol community’s premier public affairs pros. A veteran of both the executive and legislative branches, she has advised governors, Fortune 500 CEOs, lawmakers and any number of nonprofit leaders. While Perry Communications Group deftly works across a wide range of policy issues, the firm’s forte remains healthcare, where it continues to guide clients through some of California’s most complex legislative, regulatory and public affairs challenges. Perry has always preferred working behind the curtain to standing center stage, which is ironic considering she’s made a career out of helping other people command the spotlight. As Perry Communications Group continues to grow, so too has its reputation for tackling some of the Capitol’s toughest policy and communications challenges — proof that you don’t have to be the loudest voice in the room to have an outsized impact. Full disclosure: Perry is on the board of Open California, publisher of Capitol Weekly.
