In a Facebook post, Korsgaden said there is \u201cno path to the general election\u201d for her campaign based on the most recent ballot returns, which showed her in third place with 1.153 million votes, or around 15.7% of the vote.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Korsgaden, a Republican and Grover Beach resident, thanked her supporters, family, friends and colleagues for their support over the campaign.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe insurance system is broken,\u201d Korsgaden wrote in the post. \u201cWhat should be a stable industry serving policyholders has been damaged by political mismanagement and a lack of respect for market forces.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cCalifornia is uninsurable because leaders have not used our tax dollars to reduce risk, care for our forests and wildlands, address crime and homelessness, or pursue policies that strengthen rather than weaken our state,\u201d she continued. \u201cThat is the warning. But it is also the hope. With disciplined leadership, these problems can be fixed and the system can work for all parties.\u201d<\/p>\n
