state office
Styled after Los Angeles County's sample ballot so it looks familiar. This page is not a ballot.
Democratic
I'm running for Insurance Commissioner to reform our broken insurance system, lower costs, and protect consumers. I'm not taking any insurance company money because my loyalty is to you. In the State Senate, I've fought for consumers and working Californians.

The Insurance Commissioner should be working for you to lower prices, not working for the industry to increase profits. That's why I will never take a dime from insurance companies.

| State disaster insurance “California should create a state-run program that guarantees wildfire and flood insurance coverage.” | Disagrees Called Kim's plans, led by public disaster insurance, "totally unprecedented and unmoored"; wants to reduce wildfire risk so private insurers keep covering homes. | Strongly agrees Wants "natural disaster insurance for all," a state-run authority guaranteeing wildfire and flood coverage. |
