Double Nickel Advisors LLC is dedicated to personal and comprehensive service. Helmed by John A. Pérez, one of California’s longest-serving Assembly Speakers, Double Nickel Advisors has a proven track record providing effective and individually tailored guidance to our clients. Speaker Emeritus Pérez brings to bear his years of experience in the state legislature and decades of experience impacting statewide policy. Building on this experience, Double Nickel Advisors is able to offer our clients a nuanced view of the political landscape in the state of California and layout the most effective method for accomplishing our clients’ goals. Lauded by policymakers, community leaders and journalists for his effectiveness, Speaker Emeritus Pérez was instrumental in converting the California state budget deficit in excess of $60 billion into a surplus during the worst economic crisis in living memory during what the California Department of Finance termed “the worst budget crisis in the state’s history”. In recognition of his accomplishments, former Editor at Large of the Los Angeles Times, Jim Newton wrote an op-ed following his departure from the Assembly saying: “Working with two very different governors — Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger and Democrat Jerry Brown — he has pressed to protect and create jobs, to revamp the budget process and to focus on economic development. … When Pérez left the speakership… unemployment was lower than it has been since the onslaught of the Bush-era national recession. And legislators, who once battled to save programs from cuts, now are arguing over how to spend the budget surplus.” The team at Double Nickel Advisors would be happy to work with you to determine how we can best meet your goals.
