Hi CalMatters reader, it’s Trevor from CalMatters, and I’m reaching out for the first time since November’s special redistricting election. If you’re new to the election newsletter, welcome!

We’re relaunching this election newsletter to provide you with the information you need to vote this year, starting with the upcoming June 2 primary election, which includes coverage of the race to replace outgoing Gov. Gavin Newsom. 

Today, I wanted to share how all the candidates running for state insurance commissioner responded to a key question CalMatters asked them: What can the state do to help victims and stabilize insurers?

Insurance commissioner is a role in state government that’s become increasingly more visible and important after last year’s devastating wildfires in Southern California. Let me know if you have any questions about the insurance commissioner race, or if you have reactions to the proposals presented by the candidates.

Talk soon,
