As a Commissioner on the Beautification Committee in Compton, it is important that I am hands on with erasing blight in my local community as well as establishing relationships in my business community. Through PIFPAC I plan to be a liaison for my community and our representatives.

In just my first couple of years as a State Farm agent I have been able to see the impact politics and regulations have on my ability to grow and operate my business. So I decided to join PIFPAC, as soon as I could at the Chairman's Council Level. I consider this contribution to be a necessary part of doing business and I will make it a point to meet with my mentor agents more often to familiarize myself with the political and regulatory arena in our industry and to see how else I may contribute to support our cause. Hopefully, my new fellow agents will follow my example and be a part of this important endeavor.

Welcome to PIFPAC Jim Coleman!

I see PIFPAC as an investment in my business. They help protect our industry and are my voice in Sacramento.

I decided to become a PIFPAC member because I want to help make a difference in Sacramento.

PIFPAC watches out for my business.

I have been a Chairman’s Council member of PIFPAC since its inceptions, because I believe it is the most effective vehicle for protecting an agent’s livelihood.  I still can’t understand why every agent in California is not a member of PIFPAC.

I love that I am a part of PIFPAC.  I look at is as though it is a political insurance policy.  As a business owner I am busy running my day-to-day operations.  I know that I have a huge support system behind my agency.

PIFPAC keeps me up to date on all of the politics that affect the insurance industry, which ultimately is a reflection on my bottom line.

I don’t think twice about asking my clients to invest at least $100 per month into a life insurance policy to protect their future.  I feel $100 per month is an affordable investment in my future.  Situations in other states have taught us that we are not invincible.

I believe in supporting PIFPAC is because our industry needs to have a political voice in Sacramento.  It is popular for politicians to jump on insurance companies these days, it makes them look good to the majority of the voters who have problems with what they pay for insurance.  As has happened in other states, we could be severely hurt if we do not speak up.

PIFPAC is a partner in my business.  They provide security from those who would destroy our industry and my livelihood.  As insurance professionals who are dedicated to protecting the interests of our clients, we should understand this the most.

My involvement goes all the way back to PROP 103 which was my first introduction to politics.  I am active because I am tired of someone else telling our story, as they generally have it wrong, and legislators that come to office with an agenda.

It is critical that we have our voices heard when it comes to our future, PIFPAC is our voice.

As agents, we need to do all we can to preserve our way of life “helping others in need” from the volatile political landscape in California.  PIFPAC is our advocate in Sacramento and throughout the State.  Paying $100 per month seems a small price to pay so we can sleep at night.  PIFPAC supports candidates who understand our value to the public.  Join me in supporting PIFPAC, whether it’s for the first time, or by increasing your monthly contribution.

Being involved politically is not something I enjoy or have time for.  So personally, I feel that joining PIFPAC is the least that I can do.  Thanks goes out to the agents who have been at the forefront of PIFPAC and made it what it is today.  They have put in a lot of time and effort and I appreciate it tremendously.  So for me, I don’t understand why every agent and employee is not a member?  It is our livelihood we are fighting for.
