Now he's taking that fight to the Department of Insurance.
State Senator Ben Allen has spent a decade building a record of taking on entrenched interests: from the utilities to insurers to big oil. As Insurance Commissioner, he'll lower costs, bring insurers back to the market, and make sure Californians are paid what they are owed in a time of crisis.
In the aftermath of the Palisades Fire, Ben Allen went to work — helping thousands of people who lost everything rebuild their homes and their lives. He held insurance companies accountable to pay homeowners what they were owed, pushed for faster rebuilding, and funded the brush clearing and forest management that keeps the next fire from becoming the next catastrophe.
1. Fighting insurers that deny and delay. Leading the fight against companies that stall claims and refuse to compensate wildfire victims.
2. A leader on wildfire prevention. A record of preparing California for the fires we know are coming - not just responding after.
3. Refuses insurance industry money. Never taken a dollar from the industry he'd regulate. He'll answer to you, not to them.
California's insurance crisis is real: insurers are leaving, costs are rising, and families are stuck on an overburdened FAIR Plan. Ben's plan brings insurers back by increasing competition and demanding real accountability and transparency — reform that works, not an untested experiment.
Proud dad, husband, legislator, consumer advocate & environmental leader. Fighting for Californian families.
