The people have spoken. Now what? How will the results of the elections affect the property/casualty insurance industry's prospects in Washington? This in-depth political discussion with two experts provides the answers.
Hear two professionals who closely monitor-- and help shape -insurance industry issues on Capitol Hill discuss the election results, pending key leadership and committee changes, and how a divided Congress might proceed, as well as what to expect on specific issues including flood insurance, terrorism reinsurance, data privacy, crop insurance, federal regulatory rollback, financial regulation, taxes, trade, marijuana and more.
The experts from Capitol Hill are:
RJ Lehmann, co-founder and director of insurance policy at R Street Institute, a leading public policy and research group advocating for free markets and efficient government.
Charles Symington, senior vice president, external, industry and government affairs for the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America (Big I), the country's largest association representing insurance agents.
The discussion, moderated by Wells Media's Andy Simpson, also reveals some of the important members of Congress who are leaving and who are the members of Congress with ties to the insurance industry.
