What is a Political Action Committee?

A political action committee or PAC is a group that is formed to give money to the political campaigns of people who are likely to make decisions that would benefit the group's interests.

Facts about IMPACT

  • Funds are disbursed on a nonpartisan basis to both Democrats and Republicans and are based on issues that promote IIAT’s legislative agenda.

Does IMPACT buy votes?

No. Candidates and public officials are honorable people whose votes are not for sale. But by helping elect business-minded public policy decision-makers, IMPACT assures independent insurance agents the opportunity to present our views and be heard.

IMPACT fully complies with all state and federal election law.

“The success of our members goes hand in hand with the success of IIAT’s legislative efforts - good laws on the books, coupled with a friendly regulatory environment, make that possible. Giving to IMPACT puts IIAT’s government affairs team in a position to help pro-business candidates get elected so we can maintain both.“ William J. Crocker, CLCS, Vice President, Alliant Americas

Can we count on your support?
