Wedworth was a California state senator and for nearly 25 years he was mayor of Hawthorne.[5] In 1970, along with assemblyman Larry Townsend, he was responsible for introducing a bill allowing paramedics to save lives in emergency situations. It wasn't until Ronald Reagan—who at the time was governor of California—signed the Wedworth-Townsend Paramedic Act that paramedics were allowed to run calls without nurses attending.[6]
