INSURANCE COMMISSIONER
Sadly, we have two TERRIBLE Candidates. One of them will win and affect insurance issues for all of us - our homes (whether we own or rent), businesses, etc. We all have a couple of options, and we are not all going to make the same decision.
1—you can vote for the candidate that you think will make more good / less bad decision, or
2—you have an option to skip a race and vote on everything else.
Just FYI – here is how 2 conservative voter guides rate these two candidates.
Elizabeth Barcohana (Lady with a Brain Voter Guide) lists Ben Allen as the "least terrible candidate".
Craig Huey's Voter Guide has a 1 – 5 Rating System (with 5 being the highest and 1 being the lowest).
Craig Huey rates Far Left Democrat BEN ALLEN as two of 5 stars (meaning: Vote only to prevent a worse candidates from winning). He rates JANE KIM as 1 of 5 stars (meaning: Terrible. Do not vote in this race. All your other votes will count.)
