George Runner Named “Tax Fighter of the Year” by Grassroots Organization

Sacramento  –  Taxpayer Advocate/Senator George Runner (R-Antelope Valley) today announced he was awarded Americans for Prosperity’s 2010 “Tax Fighter of the Year.” 

“I am humbled and honored to receive this prestigious award and recognition from this respected grassroots group,” Runner said. “I share AFP’s belief in limited government and free-market principles and I look forward to continuing my work with the organization.”

Peter Foy, president of the California chapter of AFP, presented Runner with the award (which is in the form of a Ronald Reagan bust) at a speaker series/award dinner last night at the Sacramento Sheraton Hotel.

“It was an easy decision to choose George Runner for this award,” Foy stated. “Runner has been a friend to taxpayers for nearly two decades.”

According to AFP’s website, the organization is composed of grassroots leaders who engage citizens in the name of limited government and free markets on the local, state and federal levels. The grassroots members of AFP advocate for public policies that champion the principles of entrepreneurship and fiscal and regulatory restraint.
