This year, Heritage Insurance donated $15,000 to the Florida Republican Party and $1,000 to Florida Republican candidate Simon Corey. Last year, the insurer gave the Florida GOP $200,000 and $1,000 to Florida Republican candidate Griff Griffitts.

Faith Based Events

Heritage is among the private insurers who have been cutting coverage as the risk of more frequent and more severe extreme weather events increases in vulnerable areas of the state. Over the past year, the company decided not to renew 74,000 home policies in the state, as reported by Insurify, as it tries to reduce its home insurance risk.

In 2023, GEICO donated $7,500 to Florida Republican candidates as part of a total of $21,000 donated to Republican candidates across the country that year. Also in 2023, the private insurer donated $100,000 to the New York Democratic Party and $30,550 to Democratic candidates across the country.

This year, the company donated $4,000 to Florida Republican candidates Wyman Duggan and Tyler Sirois, as well as $2,000 to New York Democratic candidates David Weprin and Pamela Jo Hunter.

Between February 2023 and now, American Integrity Insurance donated a total of $82,000, giving $60,000 to the Florida Republican Party and $22,000 to Republican candidates. Of that amount, $73,500 was donated last year and $8,500 in 2024.

This year, the private insurer made donations to Republican candidates Brad Yeager ($1,000), Shane Abbott ($1,000), Griff Griffitts ($1,000), Greg Folley ($2,000), Linda Chaney ($1,000), Daniel Danny Alvarez ($1,000), Nick Primrose ($1,000), and Chase Tramont ($500).
