WSIA Senior State Relations Manager John Meetz said: "People are surprised to learn that $5,000 is the most a Congressional candidate can receive in a year," he said. "Contributions from a large number of our members, in any amount, helps us reach our goals, and Congressional members notice when our members provide broad support for the PAC." (Credit: Diego M.

Following a pandemic-impacted year in 2020, the WSIA PAC Committee is forging ahead in the last month of this year to meet its 2021 fundraising goal of $200,000. With the same goal in 2020, the PAC ended the year with $160,115 in contributions from 255 WSIA member individuals. As of November 3, 2021, the PAC has raised more than $173,000 from over 300 members.
The PAC helps the association educate members of Congress about the importance and impact of the wholesale, specialty and surplus lines industry on the nation's economy. The PAC makes WSIA an influential voice on the industry's complex insurance issues and can also offer financial support to candidates whose philosophies are consistent with the goals of WSIA and its members.
