Kim, leading in votes with over 2.3 million, wants a state-run “universal disaster insurance” system to force insurers to invest in fire safety. Allen, with 1.6 million votes, prefers incentivizing communities to become fire-resistant, hoping to shrink reliance on the costly FAIR Plan. With Ricardo Lara’s term ending, whoever wins will face big decisions on premiums and public safety—making this election a pivotal moment for California’s future.
