On auto insurance reform

Borregard likes the idea of creating "a citizens oversight committee in the government," on auto insurance, he said. "I think a lot of the structure is there, but it's been corrupted, and it doesn't work for the people, it works for politicians and lobbyists who have turned the thing into a rat's nest."

This statement was published October 30, 2018, during Borregard's state Senate campaign. A targeted September 4, 2026 search for newer statements using the distinctive phrases “citizens oversight committee” and “corporate interests” returned no results, so no newer contradictory statement was found.
