NAIFA-Wisconsin Book Club - The Let Them Theory
What if the secret to peace... is letting them?
Join us in-person or by Zoom for an eye-opening discussion on The Let Them Theory - a book that's sparking conversations everywhere about boundaries, self-worth, and emotional freedom.
In this book club discussion, we will unpack the powerful concept that sometimes the best response is no response at all. Learn how "letting them" - be it in relationships, work, or life - can actually be the most empowering move you make.
Let's talk boundaries, Let's talk peace. Let's talk The Let Them Theory.

Crawford Secures Win in the Nation's Most Expensive Court Race
Dane County Judge Susan Crawford secured an open seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, solidifying liberal control for at least another three years. With 98% of the vote in, Crawford was at 55%, while conservative Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel was at 45%, according to unofficial returns. The money and national spotlight on this race were unprecedented. The Tesla CEO and top aide to President Trump and his PAC spent more than $24 Million on this race. Schimel underperformed in numerous areas around the state as Crawford easily exceeded the numbers that Democratic nominee Kamala Harris put up in the November election in losing to Donald Trump. Crawford also won Brown, Outagamie, and Winnebago counties after Trump took all three last fall. Turnout in the Supreme Court race has topped 2.3 million, with some precincts still out. That’s roughly a 26% increase statewide compared to 2023.
Key numbers include:

Happy April, NAIFA-Wisconsin!
As your Wisconsin Chapter President, I’m excited to share what our chapter has in store for 2025. The Board has been hard at work, and I’d like to highlight some key updates.
Since taking office in January, we approved a balanced budget and renewed our contract with Schreiber Government Relations Group for another two years to align with Wisconsin’s biannual budget cycle.

If you don't speak up for your business, no one will!
Congress Is Discussing Your Future.
Shouldn't You Be Part of the Conversation?
If you won't speak up for your business and clients, no one else will.
Decisions made in Washington, D.C., greatly impact your business and clients. Yet, most of our lawmakers are not experts in insurance or financial services or how agents and advisors are critical to the financial security of American families and small businesses.
