I was so glad to meet with Caroline Jurisich Nawas, the owner of The Quad in Lafayette last week!
I got to take a look around their facility and even got to meet my birthday twin, Melanie! Thank you so much to the Quad team for having me.
Marking it up just to mark it down & call it a sale.
The 7.5% rate cut comes just 8 months after SureChoice increased rates by 12.5% on 73K policies.
In fact, insurers have raised homeowners’ rates by 4.9% in Louisiana in 2025. #LaLege#LaGov https://t.co/JkyiHrP5Pq
High rates are crushing Louisiana families, with nearly 1/5 of earned income going to home & auto insurance.
Lax regulation allows insurers to penalize people with poor credit, practically doubling rates.
Yet, big insurance companies are raking in record profits #LaLege#LaGov
Louisiana policyholders are paying more for home insurance, seeing their claims denied at an alarming rate, and getting dropped by their insurer more frequently.
Meanwhile big insurance companies are reporting record profits.
It’s a crisis for you, not them! #LaLege#LaGov
Insurance companies are hiking rates, denying claims at record levels, & pushing laws that gut consumer protections in Louisiana.
Instead of protecting policyholders, they’re exploiting them to fund their investment profits.
Louisiana needs real reform now. #LaLege#LaGov
Fatalities involving heavy duty trucks are up 40% since 2014, and 44% of trucking schools do not comply with government rules. Credit
We need better enforcement and regulation to make our roads safer and lower commercial auto rates. #LaLege#LaGov https://t.co/TezWuPDuO7
Skyrocketing insurance rates ares crushing Louisiana homeowners.
New Orleans is now 3rd costliest city to own a home.
10¢ of every $1 earned in Louisiana goes to insurers.
Meanwhile, big insurance companies are reporting record profits. #LaLege#LaGov

Insurance Commissioner Tim Temple and his allies in the legislature want you to believe that “you’re in good hands” with big insurance.
But storm victims know too well that “our worst day is their biggest profit opportunity.” #LaLege#LaGov
Louisiana’s insurance crisis continues to worsen. Unaffordable rates, high claim denials, and record profits for big insurance.
It’s time for real reforms that lower rates, protect consumers, and hold insurers accountable. #LaLege#LaGov
Louisiana reported the biggest spike in home insurance non-renewal rates in the U.S: In 2018, home insurers in the state canceled 0.55% of homeowner policies.
In 2024, they canceled nearly 3%.
That’s more than a 5X increase. #LaLege#LaGov@WeissRatings https://t.co/e55gdqjkPi
The cancellation of homeowners insurance policies continued in large numbers in Louisiana last year. 3% of homeowners were dropped by their insurer, a 5x increase from 2018, @WeissRatings reports
Commissioner Temple is focused on what insurers in London and Bermuda want and NOT WHAT LOUISIANA POLICYHOLDERS NEED.
As a result:
🚨 Rates are sky high
🚨 Nearly half of claims are denied
🚨 Insurers can cancel policies at will
It’s a crisis for you, not them #LaLege#LaGov
Commissioner Temple flew to Bermuda because he’s more focused on the needs of (re)insurers than the people of Louisiana.
His reforms have catered to the insurance industry, and done absolutely nothing to protect consumers or lower rates. #LaLege#LaGov

It’s a crisis for you and not them.
In fact, big insurance has exploited the crisis policyholders face, using it to change laws that make it easier for them to raise rates and cancel policies and harder for you to file a claim and hold your insurer accountable. #LaLege#LaGov
20 years after Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana is even more vulnerable to big insurance companies.
Since 2004, home insurers operating in Louisiana are denying 44.6% of claims. #LaLege#LaGov

Commissioner Temple said “BLAME ME” if rates don’t come down.
Welp…
Louisiana has 2nd highest rates in U.S. ($6,274).
New Orleans policyholders spend nearly 17% of income on home insurance.
We need real reforms that lower rates and protect consumers.

According to a report from @ConsumerFed, insurers are marking up Louisiana home insurance policies with poor credit by an average of $3,754 per year.
Commissioner Temple & the legislature have defended this practice as high rates crush Louisiana families. #LaLege#LaGov
