City Council honors Tulare's 3 State Farm agents

The Tulare City Council honored the city's three State Farm agents at a recent meeting, recognizing their parent company's 100th anniversary.

State Farm is the country's largest insurance provider, according to the Insurance Information Institute. State Farm holds the largest market share in policies for homeowners, auto, and property and casualty, according to 2021 data. 

Mayor Dennis Mederos called two of the three agents forward to read a Certificate of Recognition.

"Our idea would have been to have each one of them come and receive this certificate of recognition. But as it turns out, they were being recognized in a different way in Las Vegas that day, so they didn't want to come here," Mederos said with a chuckle. "Our city council appreciates the dedication and the perseverance as it relates to any organization that exists for 100 years."
