Senator Ben Allen
@senbenallen.bsky.social
State Senator representing the 24th Senate District. Focused on protecting the environment & improving our political system. Bilingüe and a proud dad.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Always love getting to put my professor hat on! Great engaging with @smcedu.bsky.social students to discuss some of the heavier policy issues we're addressing as a state, from gerrymandering to budget issues to the bill process!
