State governor Doug Ducey has appointed former Arizona Representative Andy Tobin as director of the Arizona Department of Insurance.
Tobin has served as director of the Arizona Department of Weights and Measures, where he has been instrumental in consolidating into other areas of state government to cut down on bureaucracy.
He brings experience in insurance bank and public policy. Previously, Tobin owned and operated local famers insurances for years and more recently owned his own employee benefits company.
Ducey commented: “I’m pleased to announce Andy Tobin will continue his service to the state in this new role. I know he will serve the people of Arizona with the same energy, diligence and reform-minded attitude for which he is known and trusted.”
Tobin added: “I’m honored to continuing serving the people of Arizona as a member of governor Ducey’s administration. I thank the governor for this opportunity and look forward to working with him and the department to protect Arizona consumers.”
