DOVER, DE – Insurance Commissioner Karen Weldin Stewart and fellow members of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) were in Washington, D.C. this week to discuss insurance issues with members of Congress. Key topics included retirement security, flood insurance, cybersecurity and health reform.

Nearly 40 chief state insurance regulators and senior staff gathered for the 2016 Commissioner Washington, DC Fly-In. Before meeting their congressional delegations, the regulators were briefed by Senator Susan Collins from Maine and Congressman Sean Duffy from Wisconsin. Political analyst Stu Rothenberg also gave a presentation on the impact that the 2016 elections may have on states.

“My department is in regular contact with Representative Carney and Senators Carper and Coons on the important matters that face Delawareans,” said Commissioner Stewart. “The Fly-In is a great opportunity to sit one-on-one with our federal delegation and find ways to collaborate on issues such as health care, captive insurance companies and flood insurance.”

NAIC members spent two days meeting with their respective congressional representatives to highlight the NAIC’s legislative agenda, discuss the impact of policy initiatives in the states and brief lawmakers on international insurance regulatory developments.
