Cameron Smyth

Cameron Smyth is a Republican who has represented California's 38th Assembly district since December 2006. He succeeded Keith Richman who was term-limited.

Prior to being elected to the state legislature, Assemblyman Smyth served on the Santa Clarita City Council, where he was first elected in 2000 and re-elected in 2004. During his time on the council, Smyth twice served as mayor, first in 2003 and again in 2005.

Background

Born and raised in Santa Clarita, which is in the assembly district he represents, Assemblyman Smyth attended local public schools and received his bachelor's degree in Rhetoric and Communications from the University of California, Davis, where he was also a two-sport athlete.

Political Background

Assemblyman Smyth began his career as a Field Representative for the California Republican Party. In 1994 he was hired by the late State Assemblyman William "Pete" Knight. In 1996, Smyth served as campaign manager for Knight's successful State Senate campaign; he was the youngest on-site manager for any state legislative race in California at that time.

Upon winning the election, Senator Knight promoted Smyth to the position of Deputy Chief of Staff. In 2000, Smyth moved to the private sector and currently operates his own consulting business.

Family

Assemblyman Smyth, along with his wife Lena, has served on the board and volunteered with several non-profit organizations including the American Red Cross’ local blood drive program, the American Heart Association, the American Diabetes Association, the Special Olympics, the Betty Ferguson Foundation, the Santa Clarita Valley Jaycees and the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce.

In addition to their service to the community, Assemblyman and Mrs. Smyth are proud parents of two boys, Gavin, 3, and Rowan, 2.
