American Farmers & Ranchers (AFR) has presented three Oklahoma legislators—Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), and Rep. Kevin Hern (OK-01)—with the National Association of Mutual Insurance Company’s (NAMIC) Benjamin Franklin Public Policy Award.
The awards were presented in Washington, D.C., the week of Sept. 8, when AFR members were on Capitol Hill lobbying Congress on behalf of agriculture and insurance issues.
The Benjamin Franklin Public Policy Award is named for Dr. Benjamin Franklin, a dedicated public servant and co-founder of America’s first successful mutual insurance company.
The award is presented to federal legislators who demonstrate unwavering support and leadership on behalf of NAMIC members, insurance consumers and the property/casualty insurance industry.
Only members who truly understand and support the industry, successfully protect the free and open market environment and work to facilitate the positive relationships between insurers and their insureds are considered for the prestigious award.
