Americans for Tax Reform wins over Sen. Cruz staffer

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on July 30, 2021

Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform has added a Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) staffer to its arsenal.

David Bashur joined the advocacy group as a federal-affairs manager earlier this month. ATR, which Norquist founded ATR in the '80s "at the request of then-President Ronald Reagan" to advocate for conservative tax policies, lobbies on everything from the minimum wage to Senate confirmations to the currently debated infrastructure package. 

Bashur had spent the last four years with Cruz's office and most recently worked as a legislative aide.
