2024 Public Official Awardee

Ricardo Lara
California Insurance Commissioner

Ricardo Lara serves as California’s Insurance Commissioner, marking a historic milestone in 2018 as the first openly gay person elected to statewide office in California history. His tenure has been characterized by significant actions, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, where he directed insurance companies to return health care and auto insurance premiums, resulting in cost savings of over $1.75 billion for California drivers. Ricardo’s response to the climate crisis includes leading efforts to protect Californians from wildfires, floods, and heatwaves by pushing the insurance industry towards sustainable practices. He authored the nation’s first climate insurance law, SB 30, and protected over 2 million policyholders from non-renewal after devastating wildfires.
