Promote. Protect. Perpetuate.
Formed in 1974, InsurPac, the Big I’s federal political action committee (PAC) is one of the largest small business PACs in the country and the most recognized PAC in the insurance industry.
InsurPac raises and distributes approximately $2.6 million each election cycle, making it one of the largest small business PACs in the country. It is funded by voluntary, personal, LLC and partnership contributions from independent agents, brokers and agencies throughout the country. It works hand in hand with the Big “I” advocacy team to promote, protect and perpetuate the independent agency system.
How does insurPac Work?
Agents, brokers, carrier executives, and Big “I” staff protect their business by contributing to InsurPac.
InsurPac distributes that $$ to campaigns for U.S. Representatives, Senators and candidates seeking federal office who support the IA system.
InsurPac allows our Big “I” federal lobbyists and agents to attend fundraising events.Where they develop relationships with members of Congress and their staff.
Those relationships help open doors to advocate for or against legislation that directly impacts the IA system.

Success Stories
We are risk managers. We are as well-known as anyone in our communities, towns and cities. We are trusted and looked to for advice by MBA’s, CPA’s, CEO’s, CFO’s, MD’s and PHD’s; yes, everyone needs us. We are great supporters of our communities, and we operate our offices with an open-door policy. We only need to answer the phone or open the door and there stands a person representing every social organization known to man – the rotary, chamber, scouts, little leagues, and many more.
Quote from Former North Carolina Agent Leader Don Evans
We are excellent at managing those things in front of us; those personal things we see and touch daily that affect our sales and operations. But what we do not do a very good job of is protecting our backs from the government by supporting InsurPac. It seems that there are those, for whatever reason, who do not want to participate in PACs. For those people there is a test: if you can simultaneously walk the corridors of Congress and have the ear of every Representative and Senator on every issue near and dear to your heart, and at the same time stay home and do your job, then you do not need InsurPac.
States “Leading the Pac.”
Last year, InsurPac raised a total of $1,292,543.72 from 3,227 investors across the country. A record 22 states received the Eagle Award. This award is presented to any state that surpasses a fundraising average of $100 per member agency. This gives every state a chance to earn the distinction, regardless of size, and there’s no limit to how many states we recognize. In fact, if every state reached that mark, InsurPac would be a 4 million-dollar PAC.

The Look Ahead.
The Big “I” has worked to reintroduce The Main Street Tax Certainty Act, which would make the 199A small business deduction permanent.
The deduction allows small businesses organized as pass-throughs the ability to deduct up to 20% of QBI. It is currently set to expire in 2025.
The Big “I” has successfully worked to increase the number of sponsors for these two bills and there are currently 127 cosponsors in the House and 21 cosponsors in the Senate.
The NFIP is set to expire on September 30, 2023, which is tied to federal government spending.
The Big “I” is advocating for the NFIP to be reauthorized.The Big “I” opposes any policies that would harm the Write-Your-Own (WYO) Program (including WYO reimbursement reductions) and undercut the valuable and trusted role that independent agents play in the sale & servicing of flood insurance.
The Farm Bill is passed by Congress every five years and includes a range of programs related to food, nutrition, and agriculture.
The 2023 Farm Bill is projected to cost approximately $1.5 trillion and crop insurance is anticipated to be the second largest allocation of funding, trailing only the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
The Big “I” is weighing in with Congress to make sure there are no cuts to the Federal Crop Insurance Program (FCIP).
