Craig Litwin
PRINCIPAL + CEO
A seasoned political consultant and activist since 1994, Craig brings over 20 years of experience in the field.
A top signature-gatherer for Proposition 215, Craig went on to become a Sebastopol Council Member and Mayor, co-authoring one of the nation’s first dispensary ordinances. He has testified before county supervisors throughout the state and has been a driving force behind Santa Rosa’s dispensary and cultivation ordinances and Clearlake’s rejection of a cultivation ban. Craig’s talent for designing and implementing sound policy—and skillfully engaging policymakers, community leaders, and law enforcement—makes him a strong ally. A champion of permaculture, Craig holds a BA in Ecology with an emphasis in Sustainability.
In his free time, Craig can be found outdoors with his family enjoying nature and looking for chanterelle mushrooms.
