George Runner Maintains Dominant Lead in Race for Board of Equalization

Antelope Valley – Taxpayer Advocate/Senator George Runner continues to be in control of the race to fill the seat previously occupied by former Board of Equalization Member Bill Leonard. Runner leads in endorsements, slates, and fundraising.

Since the last reporting period, campaigns have been subject to a 24-hour reporting requirement for contributions of $1,000 or more. Since that period the three leading candidates for the Republican nomination have reported the following:

Taxpayer Advocate/Senator George Runner              $47,900
Acting Equalization Board Member Barbara Alby          $4,000
Jobs, Economy Analyst Alan Nakanishi                         $3,000

Runner continues to run circles around the field in earned media as well as fundraising. As the author of Jessica’s Law, Runner is considered a leading expert on law enforcement issues impacting families. He is regularly featured on television providing the pro-law enforcement and pro-family point of views.

Runner also recently won two huge victories when he earned the endorsement of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association and was able to use the ballot designation “Taxpayer Advocate/Senator” that his opponents unsuccessfully challenged in court.

George Runner currently represents a large southern portion of BOE District 2 in the State Senate. He is the only candidate from this part of the district. He authored California’s Amber Alert system and Jessica’s Law in 2006. He lives in Lancaster with his wife, former Assemblywoman Sharon Runner.
