To congratulate Los Angeles County's new delegation to the Legislature, the Los Angeles County Medical Association and the California Medical Association hosted an evening reception for local state senators and assemblymembers. The LACMA Political Action Committee played an integral role in getting 75 percent of LA County's local legislators into office, including Assemblyman Cameron Smyth (R-Santa Clarita), Assemblyman Mike Davis (D-Los Angeles) and State Sen. Alex Padilla (D-San Fernando Valley). More than 100 people attended the October reception.

"One of my goals in office is to fight for universal healthcare in LA County so consumers won't have to worry about insurance," says Assemblyman Davis. "My relationship with LACMA will show me how to go about doing that."
