Alvarado-Gil has sent a letter to Insurance Commissioner Lara, stating, “This is an unconscionable assault on the rural families, farmers, and small businesses that I have sworn to protect. Commissioner Lara, you have the authority, and the moral imperative, to deny this proposal immediately.”
Senator Alvarado-Gil urged Lara to commit to a more sustainable insurance future.
