(Sacramento, CA, November 18, 2024) Actum LLC, a global consultancy firm, today announced Scott Wetch and his firm – Carter, Wetch and Associates – are joining Actum’s Sacramento office. This strategic move further solidifies its position as a leading force in public affairs, legislative strategy, and regulatory advocacy across California’s key markets, including Washington DC, Los Angeles, New York, and London.
“This partnership is a tremendous asset for our firm, especially coming on the heels of shifting political dynamics,” said Fabian Núñez, Managing Partner at Actum. “As clients increasingly seek strategic counsel to anticipate and address potential impacts on their businesses and goals, we’ve significantly bolstered our ability to meet that demand and deliver unmatched public affairs and results-driven advocacy solutions across California and beyond.”
Wetch is widely recognized for his influential role in California’s legislative and regulatory arenas, with a career spanning over three decades of successful advocacy for clients across diverse industries. He has been the Principal of Carter, Wetch & Associates since 2003. Prior to becoming a legislative advocate, Wetch served as a policy consultant in both the State Senate and Assembly for 11 years. His legislative experience includes serving as a Legislative Aide to Senate President Pro-Tempore David Robert, Legislative Director for State Senator Mike Thompson, Consultant to the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee, Principal Consultant to the Senate Committee on Housing and Urban Development, Chief Consultant to the Assembly Insurance Committee, and Chief of Staff to then Assembly Member Jack Scott.
“Joining Actum represents an exciting new chapter for our clients,” said Wetch. “The combined resources and expertise of our teams will allow us to offer a broader range of services and more innovative solutions, all while maintaining the personal touch and client-centered approach that has been the hallmark of our success.”
Joining Wetch in Sacramento office are three key team members who bring valuable expertise including Alison Ramey, a seasoned lobbyist with extensive experience in legislative advocacy landscape, will serve as a Managing Director. Martin Vindiola, an attorney and former legislative committee consultant, will join Actum as a Vice President. Additionally, Debbie Norton, a long-time legislative assistant to Scott, will be a Director in the firm.
“Scott Wetch and his team bring the kind of dedication and insight that drive results,” said former U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer and Actum Co-Chair. “With Scott and his team joining Actum, we’ve strengthened our capacity to deliver powerful advocacy and effective solutions for our clients.”
With a growing team in Sacramento and a diverse client base across every sector of California’s expanding economy — from technology and healthcare to agriculture and renewable energy — these strategic hires reinforce Actum’s commitment to expanding the scope and impact of their best-in-class services.
