Candidate statement

Chung provided the following candidate statement for the Washington State voter guide:

“	Chris strongly believes that the Insurance Commissioner position has the responsibility of safely protecting our Washington State residents. Mike Kreidler served six terms. He will not be running for his seventh term, therefore Chris aspires to run for election. In 2012, $300 million/$160 million, in 2016, $300 million/$160 million, and in 2020, $300 million/ $200 million. If elected, Chris' goal is $333 million/ $222 million. Chris desires to be an Insurance Commissioner who seeks insurance for patients, insurance for the patients' families, and the health and happiness of everyone in Washington State.	”
—Chris Chung (2024)
