Key Highlights
Advocacy and Election Engagement:
Big I Minnesota is putting a spotlight on how much the upcoming state elections could shape the insurance industry. With every Minnesota House and Senate seat on the ballot—and many seasoned legislative leaders retiring—now is the time to stay engaged. The association encouraged members to support advocacy efforts through MIIA PAC and InsurPac, reinforced the value of maintaining strong relationships with policymakers, and invited you to join the PAC fundraising event at Smashpark on September 24.
Consumer Awareness Campaign Continues:
Big I Minnesota remains focused on educating consumers about the value of independent insurance agents. The association shared a recent article published in the Duluth News Tribune that highlights the importance of insurance protection and trusted local agents following severe summer weather events across Minnesota.
