Capitol Weekly’s Top 100: Mark Weideman

48. Mark Weideman

Mark Weideman heads one of the largest lobbying firms in Sacramento, the Weideman Group, which billed more than $10 million through the first 15 months of the legislative session. The firm’s roughly 70 clients include AARP, Blue Shield of California and Carnival Cruises. Weideman received his bachelor’s from UC Berkeley and a law degree from UC Hastings College of Law and once served as an officer of AT&T California. He markets himself as having “decades of experience representing some of the nation’s most sophisticated and politically powerful clients” and we don’t quibble with that description at all.
