Jane knows how to take on big corporations — because she’s done it before.

Jane Kim is running for Insurance Commissioner to continue her decades-long work advocating for Californians because, with premium rates rising and coverage declining, we need a Commissioner who will put people ahead of insurance company profits. 

As a San Francisco Supervisor from 2011 to 2019, Jane represented a district encompassing both the city’s lowest-income residents and its wealthiest zip code. She fought for groundbreaking initiatives, including making San Francisco the only city in the nation to provide tuition-free Community College for all residents, enacting the nation’s strongest minimum wage law, and establishing a medical respite shelter for aging and sick homeless residents. She also led the single largest investment any U.S. city has made toward childcare, passing a tax on multimillion-dollar commercial real estate that now raises over $140 million annually to make universal affordable childcare a reality.

A longtime champion for affordable housing, Jane crafted the nation’s most robust tenant-protection ordinance to prevent unjust evictions. She also led and won the fight to raise the city’s affordable housing mandate from 12% to 25%, and secured an unprecedented 40% requirement in three major development projects within her district.

After leaving office, Jane served as the California Political Director for Bernie 2020 and as a Senior Fellow at both the Sanders Institute and the Young Elected Officials Network, a program of People for the American Way.

Over the last four years, Jane Kim served as the California Director for the Working Families Party where she recruited and trained the next generation of leaders ready to fight for working families. Jane also sought to achieve gender balance in the California Legislature as a member of the Board of Directors for Close the Gap California – a statewide initiative to achieve gender balance in the California Legislature.
