Senator George Runner
Serving the 17th District which incorporates portions of the Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Ventura and Kern counties.

SACRAMENTO –Sen. George Runner (R- Antelope Valley) today issued the following statement after the California Supreme Court ruled against the voter-approved initiative Proposition 22, which defines marriage as only between a man and a woman:

“In 2000, the late Senator Pete Knight’s Proposition 22 gave the people of California a voice in defining what constitutes marriage. It’s unfortunate that four Supreme Court judges can run roughshod over the voters by overturning this important measure.”
