In their own words

  • Consumer complaints
    My office fields 10,000 complaints from Georgians per year. Through that work, we’ve recovered more than $100 MILLION from insurance companies and sent it back to the pockets of Georgia families.
  • Insurer fines
    Now, I’m fighting to increase the maximum initial fines allowed.
  • Tort reform / rates
    Now, I’m focused on making sure insurance companies follow through on their promise to lower rates.
  • Georgia Access (health exchange)
    We took bold action to pull Georgia out of Obamacare and onto a state-run exchange.
  • Fraud & arson
    Since 2019, we’ve arrested more than 500 arsonists and dramatically expanded the number of fraud investigations conducted by my office.
