Grover Norquist
Grover Glenn Norquist (born October 19, 1956) is an American political activist and tax reduction advocate who is founder and president of
Americans for Tax Reform, an organization that opposes all
tax increases. A
Republican, he is the primary promoter of the
Taxpayer Protection Pledge, a pledge signed by lawmakers who agree to oppose increases in marginal income tax rates for individuals and businesses, and net reductions or eliminations of deductions and credits without a matching reduced tax rate. Prior to the November 2012 election, the pledge was signed by 95% of all Republican members of
Congress and all but one of the
candidates running for the
2012 Republican presidential nomination.
