Healthcare North Carolina’s healthcare costs are the highest in the nation, leaving too many families struggling to afford the care they need. As your Insurance Commissioner, I will fight to bring down prescription drug prices, ensure seniors can access affordable long-term care, and push back against healthcare monopolies that drive up costs. I will stand up to insurance companies that put profits over patients and work to make healthcare more comprehensive, accessible, affordable, and fair for all North Carolinians Environment / Energy North Carolinians deserve peace of mind from strengthening storms and the damages they cause. The current Commissioner lacks vision or proven action on the critical need to protect North Carolina’s communities and economy. The challenges we face— rising sea level, more frequent storms, chronic flooding—are already impacting our state, from the coast to the mountains. I am committed to addressing these issues, which lead to greater property damage, costly insurance claims, and rising insurance premiums. Environment / Energy She is a strong advocate for affordable health care insurance, public schools, reproductive freedom, clean energy, common sense gun safety reform, fair elections, better wages for working people, and environmental policies to combat climate change. Government Reform The incumbent Insurance Commissioner has repeatedly allowed insurance companies to raise rates, allowing them to collect excessive profits on the backs of North Carolinians. He’s approved 16 rate hikes in a row without holding a single public hearing — no data to justify the increases, no testimony under oath, and no cross-examination. Instead, the incumbent Commissioner meets with insurers behind closed doors, only to emerge with yet another rate increase. As Commissioner of Insurance, I'll end the rate racket and restore transparency and accountability to the process
