InsurPac, the Big “I” political action committee (PAC) and one of the largest small business PACs in the country, raised $1,291,724 during the 2024 calendar year.

As of press time, Congress has yet to pass government funding legislation to keep the federal government open beyond Friday, Dec. 20. The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is currently scheduled to expire on the same date.

Charles Symington, Big “I” president & CEO, was named among the top trade association lobbyists in the nation’s capital this year.

With a 96% success rate and $2.5 million disbursed to 278 federal campaigns, InsurPac continues its mission to amplify the voices of independent agents by supporting candidates who champion the insurance industry.

The decision has wide-reaching implications for both employers and employees across the country, as it alters the criteria for determining overtime eligibility under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

In this short video, Charles Symington, Big “I” president & CEO, and Nathan Riedel, Big “I” senior vice president of federal government affairs, unpack the outcome of the 2024 election and its impact on the insurance industry and independent insurance agents.

The election results are widely viewed as a mandate to fix the economy, stem the tide of illegal immigration, and take a new approach to foreign affairs with an “America first” agenda.

All eyes are on the presidential race, but more is at stake with the U.S. Senate Democrats defending a fragile majority and Republicans playing defense in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Nathan Riedel, Big “I” senior vice president of federal government affairs, sits down with Molly Abboud, Big “I” director of political affairs, to discuss potential outcomes for the election on Nov. 5.
