REALTORS® Political Action Committee
The REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) supports pro-REALTOR® Party candidates at the Federal, State, and local level. RPAC is the only political group in the country organized for REALTORS® - by REALTORS®. Of the nearly 7,000 political action committees in the United States, RPAC is the only one dedicated solely to promoting homeownership and protecting REALTOR® interests.
Candidates who receive support from RPAC are not selected based on their political party of ideology but solely on their support of real estate issues. It allows individual REALTORS® to stand together and say, “We support candidates who believe that Home-ownership and Property Rights Matter!”
Local Efforts
Your membership with Southeast Missouri REALTORS® supports a dedicated government affairs committee, which successfully advocates on key issues that promote homeownership, protect property rights and prevent excessive regulations on homeowners and buyers.
Why is RPAC and Advocacy Important?
Because public policy shapes this industry— Regardless of where you're located in the nation, laws affecting the real estate industry are passed every year. Elected officials regularly pass laws on taxation, mortgage finance, housing, private property rights and licensure. Many of these laws determine how real estate professionals do business and impact the profitability of your business. Campaign contributions make a difference; by pooling the resources of many REALTORS®, the cost of campaign contributions is spread broadly and REALTORS® collectively have a voice.
