  • RPAC Contributions

  • 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.

    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.

    Contributions are not deductible for federal income tax purposes. Contributions are voluntary and will be used for political purposes. Contributions are not a
    condition of membership in the Association and a member may refuse to contribute without reprisal.
