The appointment of Devine creates a tandem leadership structure in California, where he will work alongside public affairs veteran Marty Wilson. By merging local legislative expertise with a national advocacy platform, the firm intends to offer clients a unified approach to navigating the state’s complex landscape in sectors like artificial intelligence, energy, and healthcare.
Devine brings a client roster that spans Fortune 500 corporations, emerging tech firms, and nonprofits, all of whom face increasingly stringent oversight from the California Legislature. According to AxAdvocacy President Ashlee Rich Stephenson, the expansion is a response to the state’s outsized role in shaping national policy. The firm, which has gained recognition as one of the fastest-growing lobbying outfits in recent years, is betting that this integration of regional relationships and national reach will differentiate its services in a crowded market.
