Huntington Beach, Calif. -- Today Gracey Van Der Mark announced that she has earned the endorsement of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association PAC, one of California’s most respected taxpayer advocacy organizations, in her campaign for the 72nd Assembly District.

At a time when Californians are being squeezed from every direction, this endorsement carries special significance. Taxpayers have seen shocking examples of waste, fraud, and government failure including EDD losses that state audit materials say included more that $30 billions during the pandemic, along with major fraud cases tied to hospice and other healthcare billing and are looking for leaders who will step up and show leadership in providing accountability. 

“I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association PAC,” said Gracey Van Der Mark. “California families are being crushed by high costs, overtaxation, and failed leadership. I will fight in Sacramento to protect taxpayers, defend Proposition 13, and ensure government works for the people.”

The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association PAC has long been a powerful voice for taxpayers across California, backing candidates who support lower taxes, limited government, and fiscal discipline.

This endorsement adds momentum to Gracey’s campaign as she previously has announced endorsements from the Orange County Republican Party, the Republican Party of Orange County and the California Republican Assembly.

Gracey Van Der Mark’s campaign is centered on restoring accountability in government, supporting law enforcement, protecting parental involvement, and defending the economic interests of working families, homeowners, and small business owners.
