The Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (the Big "I") political action committee, InsurPac, raised a total of $1,006,970.50 during the 2009 calendar year, setting a new record for receipts in a calendar year and breaking the 1 million dollar mark for the first time in 1 year since its inception.
"Surpassing the one million dollar mark in one year is a huge milestone for InsurPac," Robert Rusbuldt said, Big "I" president and CEO. "The Big 'I' membership has always prided itself on political engagement and the continued growth of InsurPac says that we're not slowing down anytime soon."
In 2008, InsurPac broke the previous record by raising $901,985.84. In the 2007-2008 election cycle, over $1.6 million was disbursed to representatives, senators and other candidates for federal office. 92 percent of InsurPac-supported candidates won in 2008 with 222 victories of the 241 races it supported.
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.
