NAMIC's Political Action Toolbox is an information resource on the political process that outlines ways member company employees can play an active role in our democratic system.

About the NAMIC Political Action Committee (NAMIC PAC)

NAMIC PAC is a membership sponsored effort organized to financially support candidates running for federal House and Senate seats whose position on insurance regulation and a free-market business environment most closely represent the initiatives of NAMIC and its member companies. NAMIC PAC channels resources into the congressional races that will have the most impact on the insurance industry. The PAC is a voluntary, non-profit political action committee and operates independently of any political party.

NAMIC PAC is a vital part of the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies Federal Affairs program - a program that includes professional lobbying, legislative analysis, grassroots contacts, and long-term political relationships. NAMIC PAC strives to educate Congress about our industry and guarantees that no decision is made that will affect our industry, good or bad, until our voice is heard.

NAMIC PAC is governed by a Board of Trustees, chosen from the NAMIC membership, which sets basic policies regarding who will receive the PAC’s support.
