Congratulations Rick Bronstein!

Rick Bronstein, a fellow agent and friend, ran for the office of CA Insurance Commissioner in the 2010 election. Rick placed third in the race and garnered almost 300,000 votes. Not to shabby for a 3rd party candidate with no corporate backing nor war chest.Congratulations, Rick. You certainly made them take notice. Now, get back to work LOL!
