John Doolittle is a highly talented and persuasive client representative in Washington, highly adept at navigating through Washington’s treacherous political shoals. Known and respected for his wise counsel, courteous manner, and unwavering advancement of his client’s interests, John is extremely conscientious, efficient and effective.

Michael McCollum

Owner, McCollum Associates

I have worked with Congressman Doolittle in several capacities for many years. He has consistently struck me as person of exceptionally high integrity and competence. His legacy of 18 years in Congress representing northern California constituents is proof of his acumen, because he remains close friends with many senior policymakers in Congress and throughout the federal government in Washington, D. C. He is as effective outside of Congress today as he was as a congressman. He recently successfully assisted one of my larger clients through a complicated federal permitting gauntlet with creativity, commitment, and perseverance. That’s what it takes today to get permits. No longer does just a well placed phone call solve a problem. Congressman Doolittle understands the process, the individuals who influence the process, and knows how to get through bottlenecks that frequently defeat others. If you want someone who is quick to understand your issues and knows how and where to cut to the chase to resolve them, I highly recommend you start with Congressman Doolittle.

Bruce Kranz

Colfax City Manager- (2009-2013)

Having known John for nearly seventeen years, I can honestly say he is one of the most considerate and likable individuals I have ever met. As a State Senator and US Congressman he and his staff always put his district and constituents first.

John’s expertise and knowledge of State and Federal “Clean Water” issues, and his ability to articulate Colfax’s “Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP)” problems, were key in the City’s decision to hire John as it’s governmental consultant. The City ultimately received more than ten million dollars in federal/state grants and loans. This would not have been possible without John’s assistance guiding these applications through the various State/Federal agencies and legislative bodies..

I would highly recommend John to any organization or governmental agency in need of consulting services. John produces results

Peter Tateishi

President & CEO at Sacramento Metro Chamber

With this passage [$1.39 billion authorization for flood control in the Natomas Basin in the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014 (WRRDA)], we are now in the process of being able to continue improving and making safer a significant portion of Sacramento. Though WRRDA was the first step in securing our levees, it has been the hardest step for a very long time. Your personal connections with the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee ensured that Sacramento was represented in the final language of the bill.

You and your team artfully worked within the constructs of House and Senate Rules to find workable solutions and ensure that those in decision making positions were aware of the challenges we all faced. Our members of the Sacramento Regional Builders Exchange will find new opportunities to build and construct in the Sacramento Region because of this bill and your efforts. Again, we cannot thank you enough for what you did or speak more highly of the services you provided.

David Brazelton

President at Western Sign Company, Inc.

To say it simply. John Doolittle is a man of integrity and honesty. I have and will always try to copy his personal dedication to God, Country, Family and Friends and constituents.

Frank Dinsmore

When you employ a lobbyist, you look for some one that has access to the important decision makers, and can make your case for you. John, not only knows everyone in both Houses, he has great personal relationships with them. He has gotten three pieces of important legislation through for me. One of them was a stand alone bill. If you are looking for a person, who can move a bill for you, for a more than reasonable fee, John Doolittle is your man.

Catherine (Cackie) Taylor

I have had the delightful experience of working with Congressman Doolittle for the past 7 years, with 4 years working closely on issues we faced as co-directors of our homeowners’ association. During that period his knowledge, diligent work-ethic, and attention to detail consistently reinforced the entire board of directors’ universal trust in him. The board could always depend on him as a meticulous record-keeper. Since then John and I have consulted as neighbors on a regular basis, often discussing and troubleshooting planning issues surrounding our HOA, which is located near a busy and expanding region in Fairfax. In addition, he has superb artistic skills associated with his avocation of landscape design and I have often sought his advice in this regard as well. John is an industrious, friendly, honest, and intelligent professional. I recommend him highly.

Mike Albrecht

Owner, Sierra Resource Management, Inc.

I would like to offer my highest endorsement regarding the integrity and work ethic of John Doolittle. John served as our Congressional Representative for many years. In his role as Congressman, I have seen him work tirelessly on a range of natural resource issues, from water quality and conservation to sound forest management.

John was instrumental in promoting a US Forest Service Chief’s Pilot Project called the Granite Project. This project promoted the concept of stewardship contracting on our National Forests, providing the US Forest Service a mechanism to trade goods (timber value) for services (forest restoration work) in a single contract. As a result of John’s groundbreaking efforts with stewardship contracting in the 1990’s, the concept is now frequently used in large landscape-scale projects in public land management.

John Doolittle is a rare individual. He has a passion for excellence that is evident in everything he does. When times are tough, John always delivers a message of hope and optimism. When times are good, John reminds us that it is our freedom and American ingenuity that got us there. John Doolittle would be a tremendous asset to any organization lucky enough to get him.

Rocky Deal

Owner, Deal and Davie, Inc.

John Doolittle worked with the utmost dilligence, dedication, forthrightness, and integrity to advance the interests of the 700,000 citizens of his district. He was extremely successful in doing so.

Daniel Blankenburg

Associate at Hodges and Davis, P.C.

I have know John since 2005, when I came to work for him as his Leadership Director, and was later promoted to be his Chief of Staff. He has extremely high morals, is a devoted husband and father, and a deeply experienced state and federal politician. He is a man who is known for his word and principles and respected by his peers. His knowledge of the federal appropriations process is unsurpassed and he is known personally by the current Members of the Committee even today. John not only knows how to be a team player on a major committee, but also knows how to lead a group of legislators, experience he gained as a subcommittee chair of the Resources Committee.

Michael Strachn

Senior Advisor at Dawson & Associates

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Congressman Doolittle for over ten years, first as a congressional staffer and then as a private sector consultant. John is an honest, hard-working, personable and exceptionally capable professional. I highly recommend him.

Barbara Ashwill

Owner at Sheffield Ltd

John represented our community at the U.S. House of Representatives and California State Senate. He was sensitivie to the needs of his constituents and an advocate for all of us. We were fortunate to have John looking after our district.

John is intelligent and thoughtful. He is devoted to those he represents. Any company would be fortunate to have him as an employee.

Sylvia Tanner

Director of Event Management at Boyd and Parker Events

John is an amazing person. He always helps every organization with charm and dedication. If you need someone to get the job done John is the person to call. I have worked with John numerous times and he is the 1 percent that gets the project done while the rest are still on the sidelines.

Joseph Scharrer

President at RSR

John Doolittle was the most effective and ethical member of Congress that I have ever dealt with. John recruited the best talent and managed them to perfection. Being a Congressman is about teamwork and customer service on a giant scale and John Doolittle knows how to excel at both.

Keene Rick

Principle at Keene Consulting

I served an overlapping area in the as a member of the State Legislature with John as my correlary Congressman over part of my legislative district.

I worked together with John on multiple occassions and issues and I found him to be very collaborative on problem solving in our common region and that he had a unique gift in politics of both being able to be very principled and goal oriented and also very effective at coming up with solutions to complex challenges.

He was never aloof or detached and was always sharp and responsive to needs of those around him. He was not timid at challenging the status quo when warranted, even did so at great personal cost when the circumstances demanded it.

I highly recommend him for any position he may seek.

Herb Bradley

Owner, Herb Bradley &Assoc

Jay Jorgensen

I’ve known John for years and have always been impressed with his integrity and intelligence. He quickly sees to the heart of a problem. As a natural leader, John is able to motivate others and to explain his thoughts and vision to them. I recommend John wholeheartedly, and would be glad to discuss my experiences with him.

Aaron Klein

Co-Founder and CEO at Riskalyze

It was an extraordinary pleasure to work with Congressman Doolittle on behalf of the Sierra Joint Community College District. He made the time to come and tour our Mechatronics program, and caught the vision we had for expanding high-tech employment opportunities.

His efforts helped us secure a $300,000 grant that has increased access to college for a number of students, improved workforce development for local employers and had a very positive impact on regional economic development.

Jay Sessions

Honey Do Hubby at Sessions Home

There are few folks who have known John as long as I have. We span four generations. Our folks were good friends, we have raised our children together and their kids are part of our friendship. I have seen John in various different settings and he is always an example of dedication, compentence and dependability. I could expound on three qualities, but he demonstrates these (and many more) with a pleasantness and a sense of humor that makes it a pleasure to be around him. He is professional, thorough, and has confidence in himself which gives others confidence. I know he will continue to accomplish great things.

Wayne Green

Owner, H. Wayne Green Attorney at Law

I have known John Doolittle for over thirty years. We were roomates and classmates in lawschool. I have followed his career as a State Senator and as a Congressman. I know him to be a good and honorable man and one whom I would trust with my own matters.

Brian L. Jensen, MA

Regional Vice President at Hospital Council of Northern & Central California

John possesses a great combination of strength, integrity, vision, and compassion. He is an extremely principled man. After giving thoughtful consideration to an issue and determining that it aligns with his core values, he will hold to what he feels is the right decision no matter how inconvenient it may be for him personally. Many times he sees beyond mundane problems to find a more systemic solution. While he’s the most resilient man I know, he is not hardened. Rather, he is extremely kind and polite to those whom someone in his position is not expected to notice. On a broader scale, I witnessed him repeatedly look for creative ways to support communities that faced big problems and had not been accustomed to receiving much help.

J Dale Debber

CEO/Publisher at Providence Publications

I have known and worked with John for many years and during that time have found him to be intellectually advanced, subtle, honest, and a family man of integrity. He is hardworking, focused, well spoken, considered, contemplative and energetic in mission. Under pressure he is calm and collected and brings amazing experience and perspective to the table. I unhesitatingly recommend him.
