As policymakers consider reforms and new regulations that will redefine our industry, your involvement and support for TALHI’s Life Insurance Political Action Committee (TALHI LIPAC) is more critical than ever.

TALHI LIPAC provides financial contributions and support to state and legislative candidates that are tuned-in to our industry’s needs.

TALHI LIPAC not only enhances TALHI’s ability to effectively represent your company in the legislative and regulatory arenas but it also ensures that the collective voice of our industry is heard in the election process. By supporting candidates that understand our industry and its investment in Texas, we can help elect individuals that will be fair and open-minded as we share with them our priorities and concerns.

We’ve worked hard in recent years to raise the profile and effectiveness of TALHI. With your donations to TALHI LIPAC we can continue this momentum and ensure the organization remains an effective and respected advocate.

If you have supported TALHI LIPAC in the past we hope you will continue to do so and consider doing more. If you haven’t contributed yet, there’s never been a better time to start than now. I hope we can count on your support.

Questions About TALHI LIPAC

Why should I contribute to TALHI LIPAC?
Through its campaign contributions, TALHI LIPAC helps TALHI build strong relationships with leaders who are shaping the public policy that governs our state and industry. Combining TALHI LIPAC contributions with the organization’s advocacy efforts strengthens TALHI’s ability to ensure the voice of its members are heard on issues important to maintaining a strong and viable life and health insurance market in Texas.

I give directly to legislators. Why should I give to TALHI LIPAC?
While personal contributions and direct giving by company PACs to legislators are certainly encouraged, donating to TALHI LIPAC amplifies the industry’s voice by enabling larger donations to the political candidates who understand our issues. Bundling personal and company PAC contributions with TALHI LIPAC contributions is another way to support TALHI LIPAC.

My company doesn’t have a PAC. How can we contribute?
There are many ways to contribute to TALHI LIPAC without forming your own political action committee (PAC) including payroll deductions for your employees that can go directly to TALHI LIPAC, company contributions to the TALHI LIPAC Administrative Fund, and company-sponsored fundraising events for TALHI LIPAC. We’re happy to discuss these and other options with you.

Personal checks written to TALHI LIPAC can be used for contributions to candidates from the TALHI LIPAC Candidate Fund. Several companies that do not have PACs ask executives in the company to write personal checks directly to TALHI LIPAC. TALHI LIPAC also has an Administrative Fund that can accept corporate contributions. This money is used to pay for the PAC's administrative and operating expenses, but cannot be used to make contributions to candidates.

How are TALHI LIPAC contributions determined?
The TALHI LIPAC Committee reviews candidates' background, legislative history, and leadership status in determining who receives a contribution. It is vitally important that a PAC the size of TALHI LIPAC be very strategic with its political dollars. TALHI member companies can help grow the PAC so that more contributions can be made. You are the key to broadening our influence.
