Where Do My RPAC Dollars Go?

REALTORS® support REALTOR®-friendly candidates, which is important when it comes to economic expansion and job growth in the community. Local policies regarding land development, infrastructure improvements, schools and taxation are of keen interest.

RPAC dollars are contributed to candidates who support real estate and REALTOR® interests. Candidates who are pro growth and pro business most often receive RPAC support. Party affiliation is irrelevant. We are not Democrats or Republicans. We are the REALTOR® Party.
