Runner Well-Positioned for BOE Election

Primary four weeks away

Sacramento – With four weeks to go until Primary Election Day, Taxpayer Advocate/Senator George Runner continues to be the leader in the race for Board of Equalization (BOE).

Runner continues to dominate fundraising in the race, raising more than three times the amount his opponents have raised combined. Since Jan. 1 of this year, BOE candidates have reported the following contributions:

Taxpayer Advocate/Senator George Runner        $252,400
Jobs, Economy Analyst Alan Nakanishi                 $  55,340
Acting Board Member Barbara Alby                      $  25,050

Runner hit the airwaves last week with a radio ad featuring a glowing endorsement from Jon Coupal of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, which has received an overwhelmingly positive response. The spot is airing in most every media market in the district.

Runner’s campaign momentum continues to roll at full speed since securing 5 million pieces of slate mail, more than any of his opponents. He also continues to earn endorsements from elected officials and opinion leaders from throughout the state.

“The support that my campaign has received from voters throughout the district has been humbling,” said Runner. “As we move into the final stages of the campaign, I will continue my aggressive direct voter contact campaign so that voters are confident I am their best advocate for tax reform on the BOE.”

Runner is the only candidate from the voter heavy southern portion of the BOE 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.
