Testimonials
“As a California insurance broker, I’ve watched a lot of candidates talk about fixing our insurance market. Patrick is the only one who actually understands it. He has hands-on insurance experience, understands market dynamics, and has the discipline to implement real solutions. If we want meaningful insurance reform in California, Patrick is the only serious choice for Insurance Commissioner.”

“Patrick Wolff is one of the smartest, most analytical people I know. He understands insurance from real-world experience, works harder than anyone else, and stays positive under pressure. Patrick knows how markets actually function and how to deliver results. That’s exactly the kind of leadership California needs in its next Insurance Commissioner.”

“When things get tough, Patrick just works harder. He’s unstoppable. He brings real insurance experience, understands how a functioning marketplace actually works, and stays relentlessly focused on results. At the same time, he’s respectful, collaborative, and steady under pressure.”

“Patrick Wolff understands what has gone wrong in California’s homeowners insurance market and, more importantly, how to fix it. For too long, insurance regulation in this state has relied on outdated rate controls that suppress competition without delivering real consumer protection. Patrick recognizes that smart, modern regulation should promote genuine competition among insurers while insisting on prompt, fair, and transparent claims handling. It is refreshing to see a candidate for Insurance Commissioner who understands that well-designed rules can harness competitive markets to benefit consumers, while both overregulation and underregulation ultimately harm them. That is why I am proud to endorse Patrick Wolff for California Insurance Commissioner.”

“Patrick is exceptionally analytical. If there’s a technical problem to solve, he’s the person who will solve it and if he can’t, no one can. He’s smarter than most people I’ve worked with, stays positive under pressure, and actually executes on big ideas.”

“He was very friendly and I enjoyed his company. So, when I got a chance to play a big match in Spain in 1992, I asked him if he would help prepare me for that match. Happily, he accepted and we did a lot of work together for the next couple of years as I competed in the world chess championship cycle. He helped me develop a lot of structure and organisation in my chess openings as well as give me useful psychological insights. In the meantime, he himself had become US champion and I was happy that we finished that cycle together. I could always depend on Patrick.”
