Climate-driven chaos in insurance markets is forcing many homeowners to turn to surplus lines for coverage, products traditionally used to cover a pitcher's elbow or singer's voice. W/ little to no regulation on surplus lines, this puts consumers & state budgets at risk tinyurl.com/9esm73h5

Why more homeowners across the U.S. are turning to an insurance that offers less coverage
As traditional insurers retreat from areas most vulnerable to extreme weather, more Americans struggling to find coverage are seeking out surplus line plans.

Finally, let’s look at home insurance. The average American household will spend almost $3000 on home insurance costs in 2026, 17% more than just 2 years ago. Why? Climate catastrophes are destabilizing the market. But pro-climate policies can lower risk and reduce bills. A win-win.

Next, let’s go to the #1 and #2 household bills – housing and transportation. The prices for both gas and rent are soaring. We can address both by building walkable communities and investing in zero-carbon transportation in rural, suburban, and urban areas.
