Former top California Assembly staff member announces big lobbying contracts
A former top aide to Assembly leadership announced a list of blue-chip advocacy clients on Monday, becoming the latest ex-staff member to walk the well-worn path between the California Legislature and its lobbying corps.
Before launching his new lobbying and consulting shop, Greg Campbell served as chief of staff to Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, and her predecessor John A. Pérez, D-Los Angeles. He played an important role in carrying out the will of both speakers and helping to manage the sometimes-fractious Democratic caucus.
He is now registered as a lobbyist. Campbell’s outfit, Campbell Strategy & Advocacy, will represent a formidable list of interest group clients that includes Comcast, San Diego Gas & Electric, the California State Council of Laborers and Cox.
