Jane Kim has won CA's Insurance Commissioner election, defeating Ben Allen. In response to a letter from EFRU and fellow wildfire survivor advocates, Kim committed to requiring insurers to provide comprehensive testing of standing homes, including concealed spaces and heavy metals, and to reopen 2025 smoke damage claims closed without adequate testing. She also pledged to require insurers to pay for covered remediation, publicly report their handling of smoke claims, and face stronger enforcement for violations. Kim also committed to giving wildfire survivor organizations a seat at the table in discussions with insurers and developing an action plan before taking office in January 2027. These are campaign commitments that EFRU will work to see implemented.
