“The Big ‘I’ is grateful to the thousands of independent insurance agents, brokers and supporters who contributed to InsurPac and helped us reach the $1 million mark again,” says Robert Rusbuldt, Big “I” president and CEO. “The Big ‘I’ membership has always prided itself on political engagement, and the continued growth of InsurPac and the PACs 2013-2014 campaign victory rate further demonstrates that every dollar counts.”

 

InsurPac distributed more than $1.8 million in the 2013-2014 campaign cycle in support of more Senate and House campaigns than ever before resulting in a 93% congressional victory rate. 

 

“The Big ‘I’ is proud that InsurPac remains the largest property-casualty PAC in the country and dwarfs any other PAC purporting to represent main street independent property-casualty agents,” says Charles Symington, Big “I” senior vice president of external and government affairs. ”The Big ‘I’ continues to be one of the most well-respected business associations in Washington, D.C. and InsurPac complements its advocacy efforts and is an excellent example of our members’ political and grassroots clout.”

 

In the 2014 election cycle, more than 5,000 independent agents and others joined forces to support InsurPac with personal, voluntary contributions. InsurPac distributes 100% of its voluntary agent contributions to federal campaigns and, as a result, has an impressive bipartisan track record in Congress and on the campaign trail.

  

In disbursing contributions, InsurPac does not look at party affiliation but supports representatives, senators, and candidates for federal office that have been advocates and supportive of the independent agency system.
