Congratulations to our 2026 PAC Madness champions!

Utah is the Victory Bracket Champion, turning in a dominant performance with 33 new contributors and 40 lapsed contributors brought back into the PAC. As one of our smaller chapters, Utah’s focused recruiting and persistence set a powerful example for the entire association.

Iowa is the Redemption Bracket Champion, rallying with strong energy and commitment to claim the title in a competitive final round. Well done, Iowa!

This year’s PAC Madness campaign raised over $240,000, welcomed 86 first-time contributors, and brought 85 lapsed contributors back into active support — outstanding results across the board.

Why PAC Participation Matters

At its core, PAC Madness is about much more than brackets and trophies. NAIFA’s PACs (federal and state) are the foundation of our advocacy efforts in Washington, D.C., and every state capital. For more than 60 years, they have served as our industry’s most effective “business protection insurance,” enabling us to support candidates who understand the challenges facing financial professionals and who fight against harmful taxes, excessive regulations, and policies that limit our ability to serve clients.

The stronger and broader our PAC becomes, the more effective our voice is when it matters most. That is why our top priority is to move toward 100% participation from NAIFA members. When nearly every member contributes — even modestly — we build a powerful, unified force that can meaningfully influence legislation and protect the financial security of American families for generations to come.

Thank you to every chapter and every member who participated in PAC Madness 2026. Your efforts made this year a success and strengthened our collective advocacy.

We look forward to an even bigger and more impactful PAC Madness in 2027!
