What is RPAC? The REALTOR® Party

What is RPAC? The REALTOR® Party:

Since 1969, REALTORS® Political Action Committee has promoted the election of pro-REALTOR® candidates across the United States. The purpose is clear: REALTORS® and Business Partners raise and spend money to elect candidates who understand and support their interests. The money to accomplish this comes from voluntary contributions made by members. These are not member dues; this is money given freely in recognition of how important campaign fundraising is to the political process. The RPAC doesn’t buy votes. RPAC enables REALTORS® and Business Partners alike to support candidates that support the issues that are important to their profession and livelihood.

Advocating for Your Industry:

The REALTORS® Political Action Committee and the REALTOR® Party are a partnership of REALTORS® and REALTOR® Associations working together to promote and protect the American Dream: homeownership and private property rights! The REALTOR® Party speaks with a unified voice to support candidates and public policies that share the same commitment to protecting the value of homeownership.
