🏠 Senate passes #SB1301 to help Californians maintain their existing insurance coverage and stay off the FAIR Plan.

Senator Ben Allen @senbenallen.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

By focusing on accessibility, connectivity, public safety, and showcasing California's creative icons, we can leave lasting impressions on visitors that motivate them to return time and again.

Thank you CA Travel Association for the engaging conversation on how we can best utilize the upcoming World Cup and LA28 as tailwinds for future tourism in California.

We need an all-hands approach that breaks down the siloes by which mitigation work tends to operate, and we need it urgently. I will continue working with stakeholders through available channels to improve how this system can work for everybody.

Senator Ben Allen @senbenallen.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

Have been advocating for this critical support for the thousands of residents who remain displaced. I'm continuing to engage on this with our local partners, CalOES, and federal officials to secure the most aid we possibly can.

California's farmworkers feed the world. Today, we celebrate #FarmworkersDay to recognize their work that embodies the California spirit and their organized movement that fought for human rights & worker protections.

Grateful to have been recognized by @calandtrusts.org for our recent work that removes unnecessary red tape to more easily preserve land within our State Parks system - several state parks are already growing because of SB 630! www.mercurynews.com/2026/03/16/p...

021

Senator Ben Allen @senbenallen.bsky.social · 19/03/2026

Exactly the type of result we were hoping for when we streamlined State Parks' ability to acquire land last year! www.mercurynews.com/2026/03/16/p...

Senator Ben Allen @senbenallen.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

California recently expanded the CalAssist Mortgage Fund to cover one year of mortgage payments, up to a total of $100,000 for residents rebuilding after a disaster. Learn more and apply today at calassistmortgagefund.org.

Senator Ben Allen @senbenallen.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

#SB1301 will provide a real path for homeowners and renters to maintain their insurance coverage through increased transparency and required opportunities to remedy.

011

Senator Ben Allen @senbenallen.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

Californians face the 4th highest rate of nonrenewed home insurance in the nation, unnecessarily risking the livelihood and wellbeing of families across the state.

122

Senator Ben Allen @senbenallen.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

#SB1209 will close that enforcement gap to provide more timely solutions that will ensure policyholders are more appropriately covered and cared for.

000

Senator Ben Allen @senbenallen.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

For years, the CA Department of Insurance has been able to examine insurers' business operations and identify problems that deserve correction, but have lacked the enforcement authority needed to compel corrective action.

Senator Ben Allen @senbenallen.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

Mobilehome parks are the largest source of unsubsidized affordable housing in the nation. Proud to have introduced #SB1092 and #SB1093 to strengthen protections that preserve this important homeownership opportunity and safeguard residents' rights post disaster.

000

Senator Ben Allen @senbenallen.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

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. calmatters.org/economy/2026...

Proud to have earned a 100% score from @eqca.bsky.social for my 2025 voting record. Today and every day, we must continue to build a world that is healthy, just, and equal for all LGBTQ+ people.

Senator Ben Allen @senbenallen.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

Let's use this moment to reflect on the scapegoating of a marginalized group that led to such atrocities - turning us against one another to distract from real solutions. We must learn from these lessons so we never repeat these mistakes. #NeverAgain

Senator Ben Allen @senbenallen.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

Today we honor the millions of people killed during the holocaust, and recognize the trauma that has been forever imprinted on an entire population.

Special thanks are due to our friends in Santa Monica who helped provide a temporary campus at the old Sears building which provided a welcoming environment for our displaced kids.

Senator Ben Allen @senbenallen.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

Thank you to administrative and local leaders who helped us get here. As students make their return, we need regular and transparent testing and monitoring of toxins so families can be confident their kids are learning in a safe and healthy environment.

Federal leaders need to urgently de-escalate the tensions now before they provoke more avoidable and unnecessary violence and loss of life on American streets. #ICEOutNow

Senator Ben Allen @senbenallen.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

Joined Pro Tem Monique Limón, Speaker Robert Rivas, and Democratic leaders to stand in solidarity with Minnesota and condemn the atrocities committed by ICE agents that led to the death of two protestors.

Senator Ben Allen @senbenallen.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

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.

Senator Ben Allen @senbenallen.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

Honored to be recognized as a #CAHealthConsumerChampion for my voting record last year, fighting to increase affordability throughout California's health care system!

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.

Senator Ben Allen @senbenallen.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

Today I introduced #SB894, the Wildfire Mitigation Affordability Act, to provide a path for more Californians to affordably retrofit their homes to protect themselves and their property from wildfire.

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.

Senator Ben Allen @senbenallen.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

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!
