Los Angeles, August 22, 2012 – The Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL) has endorsed candidate Edward Headington to replace Assemblyman Cameron Smyth in the 38th Assembly District Seat. Smyth is vacating the seat due to term limits.

“Edward Headington has demonstrated a firm understanding of public safety and what state lawmakers need to do in order to keep our communities safe,” said LAPPL President Tyler Izen. “Headington recognizes the importance of prioritizing public safety, and we trust him to be a champion of public safety in the legislature.”

“It is an honor to receive the support of an organization that represents thousands of brave men and women who keep our families safe and put their lives at risk for us every day,” Headington said. “I am proud to stand for improving public safety, and I am committed to putting politics aside in order to address the serious public safety challenges confronting the 38th District.”

Headington, a small business owner, continues to pick up support from organizations that traditionally have gone to Republican candidates in this district, including L.A. City Councilmember Mitch Englander. For more information about Edward Headington’s campaign, please visit www.Edward2012.com.
