REALTOR® Political Action Committee

The REALTOR® organization has increased in its influence in National, State and Local issues over the last five years. This has largely come because of our dollar influence through the RPAC fundraising and candidate support. Local issues have tremendous impact on our business. We need to ensure that we are helping to elect REALTOR® friendly candidates. RPAC helps educate candidates and raise funds on the local,state, and national level.

• Meet the 2008 RPAC goal established by the UAR.
• Meet the RPAC goal of 50% participation.
• Identify and recommend the appropriate award and recognition of contributors.

The following disclaimer applies to the Sept. 9, 2008 President's Podcast: Contributions are not deductible for income tax purposes. Contributions to RPAC are voluntary and are used for political purposes. You may refuse to contribute without reprisal and the National Association of REALTORS® or any of its state associations or local boards will not favor or disfavor any member because of the amount contributed. 70% of each contribution is used by your state PAC to support state and local political candidates. Until your state PAC reaches its RPAC goal 30% is sent to National RPAC to support federal candidates and is charged against your limits under 2 U.S.C. 441a; after the state PAC reaches its RPAC goal it may elect to retain your entire contribution for use in supporting state and local candidates.
