Overview article on John Oxendine, Georgia's newly elected insurance commissioner and a Lumbee. Gives brief details on his family background (including their political involvements), career (this is the lawyer's first public office), and actions during his first six months (including denying rate increases to large companies such as State Farm and GEICO, approving increases for some small home insurers, and - some feel - not showing enough consideration for some policies favored by consumer advocates).
