Navarro Wins Delaware Insurance Commissioner Reelection

Trinidad Navarro will retain his role as Delaware insurance commissioner.

Navarro, the state’s Democratic incumbent, defeated Republican nominee Ralph Taylor in Tuesday’s election.

More than 95% of the vote was in at press time, and Navarro carried 58% of the count. Taylor had 42%.

Navarro was first elected commissioner in 2016. He served for 20 years with the New Castle County Police and was elected New Castle County Sheriff in 2010. While a police officer, he received the department’s distinguished Medal of Valor.

Taylor has also served as a police officer and as a Capital School Board member and Dover City councilman. He and his wife own a pest control service.

Navarro has said he has prioritized protecting consumers to “ensure affordable and accessible coverage for residents while holding insurance companies accountable.” While in office, he says he has led hundreds of investigations, increased health insurance options, saved Medicare beneficiaries $3.8 million, cracked down on unfair property and auto insurance practices, and protected families and seniors from fraud.

“As insurance commissioner, my number one priority is protecting Delaware insurance consumers. I will make sure the insurance companies obey Delaware law and honor their policies. I will stand up for the residents of our state, not the big insurance companies,” Navarro has promised.
