Politico: GOP Turn Out Necessary to Prevent Socialist Insurance

October 7, 2026 — “Republicans can’t afford to sit this race out. The next Insurance Commissioner’s decisions will affect every homeowner, small business, and family in California. Jane Kim’s plan would deepen the insurance crisis by offering a government-run program. Her proposal transfers risk from private enterprise to all California taxpayers; it removes the market forces and innovation that improve product quality for consumers. Her plan is not feasible and risks bankrupting the state. People will pay more and have less coverage availability—like what we are experiencing now but this burden will fall on taxpayers during an affordability crisis. Republican voters have influence in this race and not voting for this office is a gift to Jane Kim’s socialist agenda. Socialism is never the answer.”
