Former San Francisco Supervisor Jane Kim is one of two Democrats running to be California’s next insurance commissioner, a powerful position that regulates insurance rates and acts as a consumer advocate.

You can listen to last week’s interview with the other candidate in this race, state Sen. Ben Allen.
