Peace Officers Research Association of California Endorses Runner for Board of Equalization

SACRAMENTO – Taxpayer advocate and Senator George Runner (R- Antelope Valley) today announced he has earned the endorsement of the Peace Officers Research Association of California (PORAC).

“I am honored to have the endorsement of such a large and distinguished law enforcement organization,” Runner said. “It’s been my pleasure to work with the hard-working men and women in law enforcement throughout my career on such landmark legislation as Amber Alert, Jessica’s Law and Blue Alert.”

With more than 790 member organizations, representing 60,000-plus officers, PORAC is the largest law enforcement association in the state and the largest statewide association in the United States. The organization plays a leadership role in organizing, empowering and representing the interests of rank-and-file peace officers.

This endorsement comes on the heels of the recently announced endorsement of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.

Senator Runner is running for BOE District 2, the largest of four districts that comprise California’s statewide tax board. The district encompasses all or portions of 34 counties that span from the California-Oregon border to San Bernardino County.

George Runner currently represents a large southern portion of BOE District 2 in the State Senate. He authored the successful Amber Alert system and Jessica’s Law in 2006. He resides in Lancaster with his wife, former Assemblywoman Sharon Runner.
