Keisha Sean Waites, who won her seat in the recent midterm election, told a local news outlet that her biggest priority upon assuming office would be the elimination of zip code and credit score factors when determining insurance premiums.
“Those things have nothing to do with calculating your risk as it relates to your insurance premiums,” Waites claimed in the interview.
The new policy is leaving many questioning her qualifications for the office, and suggests that the move will force high credit customers to subsidize customers with poor credit to effectively institute DEI in the insurance market.
In case you're wondering if Keisha has prior, relevant experience for this job: NONE https://t.co/dfqGqzd9Qn
