California Insurance Battle Heats Up

California’s insurance commissioner race heats up as two Democrats, Jane Kim and Ben Allen, battle for control of a role that could reshape homeownership, affordability, and disaster recovery across the state. With rising rates, delayed claims, and wildfire devastation, the winner will face monumental pressure to ensure coverage stays accessible. Kim proposes a universal “natural disaster insurance for all” backed by state guarantees, while Allen focuses on collaboration with insurers, builders, and consumers — plus real-time claim transparency and stronger customer protections. The stakes? Everything from your next mortgage to your family’s safety after a disaster. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
