Consumers are touched by the insurance commissioner in dozens of ways they may not understand. If you purchase auto insurance, health insurance, or home insurance, the insurance commissioner is playing a major role in determining how much you pay, the quality of the coverage you get, and the strength of the company that stands behind that policy.
That's why Tom believes the heart of the insurance industry is the consumer. Consumers need the best, most cost-efficient, most competitive products that the insurance industry can provide - and they need an insurance commissioner who knows how to hold insurance companies' feet to the fire to make sure they can meet their financial obligations to their customers.
Tom Knox is the only candidate for Insurance Commissioner who has experience working in all facets of insurance - including working for consumers with complaints against insurance companies. Tom wrote the highly praised new law that allows auto insurers to compete freely - which has lowered costs and increased the number of auto insurance policies available in Georgia.
That's the kind of leadership Tom will bring to the Insurance Commissioner's position.
