California Assemblyman Cameron Smyth (38th Dist.) will be the guest speaker at the Valley Vote meeting at 6:45 p.m. Monday, Nov. 9, in the second-floor meeting room of Galpin Ford, 15505 Roscoe Blvd., North Hills.

He will speak at 7:30 p.m.

Smyth is vice chair of the Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials Committee, which oversees issues pertaining to the public health and environment. He seeks to direct the committee toward scientically sound policies that promote a healthy environment and a strong economy and opposes those that needlessly burden the business community and drive our workforce to other states.

He will discuss legislative matters of importance to the residents of Los Angeles.

Valley Vote's mission statement says it is a diverse coalition of San Fernando Valley residents, business people, educators, community activists and organizations. It is committed to exploring and fostering the implementation of programs that empower the citizens of the San Fernando Valley and the city of Los Angeles, to improve governance, education and public participation on policy matters.
