About Us 

The Realtors Political Action Committee (RPAC) is a non-partisan committee dedicated to ensuring that the voice of real estate professionals is heard by elected government. Our mission is to support candidates and elected officials who understand and advocate for the interests of realtors, the broader real estate community, and consumers. By leveraging the collective strength of our members, we aim to influence policy and legislation that impacts our industry. 

Endorsement Process 

Endorsing candidates who align with the values and priorities of the real estate profession is a cornerstone of RPAC's efforts. Our endorsement process is thorough and transparent, ensuring that we support candidates committed to fostering a healthy real estate market. Here's how it works: 

• Member Input: Feedback from our members is crucial. We gather input through member surveys and association events to understand the priorities and concerns of our community. 
• Candidate Evaluation: We start by evaluating candidates based on their track record, public statements, voting history, and responses to our questionnaires. This assessment focuses on issues directly affecting real estate professionals and property owners. 
• Interviews and Forums: Candidates may be invited to participate in interviews or forums where they can discuss their positions on key real estate issues with our advocacy team and Endorsement Advisory Committee. Our endorsement committee is comprised of experienced Realtor® members who review all information and make recommendations to our Board. 
• Board Approval: Final endorsements are approved by the TPCAR Board, ensuring alignment with our strategic goals. 

Endorsements are announced at regular intervals throughout the election year, as needed. This approach allows us to stay responsive to any changes in the political landscape and ensure our members are well-informed. 

Important Issues for Realtor Members 

RPAC advocates for a range of issues critical to the real estate profession. Our key priorities include: 

• Homeownership and Property Rights: Protecting and promoting the rights of homeowners and property owners is fundamental. We support policies that make homeownership more accessible and safeguard private property rights. 
• Tax Policies: We advocate for fair tax policies that benefit homeowners and real estate professionals. This includes supporting property tax deductions and opposing taxes that disproportionately impact the real estate market. 
• Regulatory Reform: We push for sensible regulatory reforms that reduce unnecessary burdens on real estate transactions and promote a healthy housing market. 
• Affordable Housing: Addressing the shortage of affordable housing is crucial. We support initiatives that increase housing supply and provide more options for low and moderate-income families. 
• Economic Growth and Job Creation: A strong economy benefits the real estate market. We back policies that stimulate economic growth, create jobs, and enhance community development. 
• Environmental Stewardship: Promoting sustainable development and environmental stewardship is important. We support policies that balance growth with environmental protection.
