I dont know who I will vote for but I know I will NOT vote Gallagher


He has made a complete wreck on the insurance industry here.

My home insurance is getting ready to go up over 70%. Allstate is pulling out of Florida. State Farm is dropping people and will probably pull out too as is Hartford. Home owners beachside here are seeing insurance costs double, some elderly people I know who have lived their entire lives in 700sqft homes are paying 2600/yr. He has made a mess, and insurance agents are scratching their heads over him. Talking to one, he said that they have even discussed having the Feds come in and run it, and we know what they did with college loans when they tried that.

Jeb is great, it would be really great if he had had a different insurance commissioner

It is not Gallagher's fault that we have had five major hurricanes in two years. He was able to craft a solution to save Citizens, which was over a billion dollars in the red, as the insurer of last resort. Without this fix, many Floridians would have no insurance. There are a number of things in the latest bill, that will help to reduce future costs, but there is no free lunch, and hurricane season starts next week. If you look at the totality of Gallagher's leadership, speaking style, personalbility, experience, level of conservatism, he wins hands down over Crist.

Gallagher is responsible?

He's probably the only reason anyone in Florida still has insurance.

Blame the hurricanes not him. This insurance companies rates starting going through the roof when Andrew hit. Charley, Francis, and Jean took this rise to a whole new level.
