Insurers pulling out of communities, stranding families and driving up costs = an insurance crisis. Climate champ @benallenca.bsky.social is the right choice for CA’s next Insurance Commissioner. His plans for resilient, fair and scalable solutions will protect Californians — JanePAC.com/Ben

Thank you! So grateful to earn your endorsement.

I am so grateful to have received the support of US Senator Alex Padilla. Senator Padilla is a critical and respected leader for California, and his support is so appreciated! @alex-padilla4ca.bsky.social

So grateful to have the endorsement of such a climate champion! Thank you!!

Insurers are pulling out of communities—stranding families and driving up costs. That’s what we call an insurance crisis. Climate champ @benallenca.bsky.social is the right choice for CA’s next Insurance Commissioner. His plans for resilient, fair and scalable solutions will protect Californians.

The campaign finance numbers are in and Ben Allen is in a strong lead. Thanks so much for your support!!

Thank you Senator Blakespear and @asmdamonconnolly.bsky.social for your leadership on #SB954, and Senators Cortese, McGuire, Reyes and @benallenca.bsky.social @jessearreguin.bsky.social @senatorsrp.bsky.social for your support.

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes and nice celebration at my Capitol Office! Appreciate my awesome staff in LA and in Sacramento for your support through everything year after year!

We've got a busy year ahead of us in Sacramento! Excited to share a few of my bills and legislative priorities for 2026 that will: - Improve community resilience, transparency, and ratepayer protections - Support disaster survivors - Expand access to insurance - Protect the environment, and more!

Yesterday, the CA Senate Environmental Quality Committee pulled back the curtain on refinery closures with an informational hearing including key experts and advocates. Here's what went down ⬇️⬇️ @carolinemenjivar.bsky.social @senatorgonzalez.bsky.social @benallenca.bsky.social

Congrats to @benallenca.bsky.social for his endorsement from @westlademsclub.bsky.social this Sunday. Thank you to all our members who came out to support #stateinsurancecommissioner Special gratitude to to the candidates @janekim.bsky.social, @patrickwolff.bsky.social #stevenbradford

Capitol Weekly asked the candidates for Insurance Commissioner how they would approach the job. @benallenca.bsky.social says he "would bring Capitol know-how with the local experience of the fires to fight for a system that works better for working Californians." capitolweekly.net/meet-the-ins...

I lament that we live in a moment where Members of Congress feel that it’s ok to post things like this. For the love of God we need to vote these people out this November.

Excited to be coauthoring #SB877 & #SB878 (Perez) to increase transparency & protections for insurance policyholders. Californians deserve to know how their loss estimates are calculated, and they definitely deserve a more rapid resolution to their claim. calmatters.org/economy/2026...

Our job as public officials is to keep our communities safe and healthy. This is especially true for disaster survivors who need to know the home and community they are returning to are safe.

Honored to be recognized as a #CAHealthConsumerChampion for my voting record last year, fighting to increase affordability throughout California's health care system!

A bill has been introduced in Congress that would move us backwards and re-enable the greenwashing of American consumers. Rep. Randy Weber must respect states' rights and CA's truth-in-labeling policy that provides corporate accountability and consumer confidence.

Joined Pro Tem Monique Limón, Speaker Robert Rivas, and Democratic leaders to stand in solidarity with Minnesota and condemn the atrocities committed by ICE agents that led to the death of two protestors.

An important milestone for displaced families and students. I hope returning to their home campus can provide a sense of familiarity and normalcy that has long been missed. www.dailynews.com/2026/01/26/p...

It’s bad enough that they’re killing unarmed protestors in the streets - and then they add insult to injury by trying to tell us to disbelieve our lying eyes as to the circumstances of the killings!! So unacceptable / so outrageous. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/us...

Two very troubling pieces in the ⁦‪@latimes‬⁩ today: one about how the LAFD Palisades fire report was watered down to downplay mistakes and the other about how SC Edison raised everyone’s rates to pay for infrastructure improvements that were never done! Mistrust and the stakes are incredibly high…

A joyful day marred by horror and tragedy. Enjoyed the El Segundo holiday parade and later celebrated the start of Hanukkah, but my heart hurts for today’s victims in Sydney and Providence, as well as the Reiners. Hero of the day was the extraordinary Ahmed Al Ahmed: www.npr.org/2025/12/14/n...

Join us for some holiday festivities at my annual Holiday #ToyDrive on Wednesday, December 10 at @SantaMonicaPlace! Enjoy live music, food & beverages, and conversations about top district issues going into the new year. Learn more & RSVP: bit.ly/allen-toy-drive. Hope to see you there!

Great visit to #IndustrialLight&Magic — home of E.T. & Star Wars. 🎬✨ As a lead author of #AB1138 #CAFilmAndTVJobsAct with @benallenca.bsky.social, I’m working to keep jobs like these—and movie magic—right here in CA.

Thank you @milkeninstitute.org for our insightful conversation about the fire, recovery, risk, and insurance. Appreciated the thoughtful questions and discussion! We have to learn from the fires and rebuild in a way that better incorporates the best fire science.

The CalAssist Mortgage Fund Program increased the eligible household income limit to $211,050 for recent fire survivors within LA County. Learn more about this mortgage assistance for destroyed properties, and apply today at www.calassistmortgagefund.org.

My response to the veto of #SB682.

Always love the opportunity to do a guest lecture on public policy to engage with our future leaders. This time, I went to USC where we discussed using policy to solve major problems and navigating implementation.

@governor.ca.gov signs new #California law to help protect new & used car buyers from common car buying scams. TY @benallenca.bsky.social for championing first-in-the-nation consumer protection law. BRAVO!!! apple.news/AW3oOij75Rnu...

Well articulated by renowned chef, Andrew Zimmern. Toxic forever chemicals are contaminating our food & water and poisoning our bodies. They don't belong in the pots and pans we cook with every day. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/o...

Governor Newsom has signed my #SB766 to provide stronger transparency and consumer protections for car shoppers! This new law eliminates deceptive practices that lead to junk fees and falsely advertised vehicle prices.

Last week wrapped up the legislative year for us! Here's a look at just a few of my bills that made it to the Governor's Desk for a possible signature, focusing on insurance & disaster relief, natural resources & public health, and consumer protections.

Another great conversation with AIA Los Angeles, discussing how we can utilize the principles of a circular economy in our built environment. Issues like adaptive reuse, as well as community hardening techniques, can make important contributions to a sustainable future.

Celebrity chefs want to kill @benallenca.bsky.social's #SB682 that would ban dangerous PFAS from cookware in California. These chefs either sell or endorse cookware lines that use these ‘forever chemicals’, putting their personal profits over public health.

PFAS are leading to an avoidable public health crisis. It’s clear we need to be taking stronger steps to regulate and minimize the use of these forever chemicals. www.nytimes.com/2024/08/31/c...

Baby just say yes (on #SB682)

Honored our brilliant @ccst.us on the Senate Floor this week! My office has benefited tremendously from the addition of Dr. Adam Cooper this year, who has worked on issues such as cap & trade, the use of forever chemicals, environmental contaminants, wildfire recovery efforts, and more.

Fascinating and important roundtable with Palisades residents to learn more about the challenges many are facing on the insurance front right now, along with state-wide challenges.

Great conversation with our friends at the South Bay LGBTQ Center about the needs and concerns of the community. Thank you to the wonderful leadership and volunteers of the Center!

Got the chance to stop by @elcaminocollege.bsky.social to meet with President Dr. Thames & check out all of the changes on campus! Saw their impressive new sports facilities & stopped by the social justice center to discuss the college’s work supporting students!

Excited for the launch of a community driven, long-term recovery organization to support Palisadeans impacted by wildfire.

My response to the Trump Administration's proposed $1 billion settlement from UCLA.

Great speaking with the Hollywood Chamber yesterday, alongside colleagues Asm. Rick Chavez Zbur and Sen. María Elena Durazo, discussing upcoming LA28 opportunities, small business priorities, and the impact of the modernized Film & TV Tax Credit Program on our local economy here!

My statement on pausing SB 549.

#SB549 is proposing to establish a Resilient Rebuilding Authority to streamline and lower the costs of rebuilding areas impacted by the LA Fires. It would be led by input and guidance from the impacted community, and retains local control. (1/2)

LA is gearing up to welcome the world for the extraordinary celebration of international unity and friendly competition at a level that only the Olympic and Paralympic Games can offer.

Happy #IndependenceDay everybody! We had a great time joining in the Santa Monica / Palisades parade festivities this morning and the very cool Palisades community festival this evening where we ran into Councilwoman Traci Park!

We’re fighting to bring TV and film production back to California. An honor to speak at today’s celebration of the expansion and revitalization of our state’s TV/film tax credit.
