I’m turning my 2024 election efforts to defeating an activist attorney seeking to fill Washington’s Insurance Commissioner role. The open, statewide office has considerable rule-making and rate-setting authority that impacts every Washingtonian through the types of insurance policies that can be sold, coverage offered, cost increases, and more.
People in Washington are being directly financially harmed by the policies pursued by the Insurance Commissioner. Electing my opponent will make the problem worse. My goal is to remove burdensome regulations while providing the broadest choice and best coverages at the lowest cost.
Under current Democratic control, insurance rates have skyrocketed as have the complex and costly regulations resulting in less choice for consumers.
My supporters and donors are urging me to run for the OIC to stop the onslaught of regressive policies being inflicted on insurance markets in Washington.
