Advocacy

The REALTOR® Party is a powerful alliance of Realtors and Realtor Associations working to advance public policies and candidates that build strong communities, protect property interests and promote a vibrant business environment.

Realtors Political Action Committee (RPAC)

Realtors Political Action Committee (RPAC)

Since 1969, the Realtors Political Action Committee (RPAC) has promoted the election of pro-Realtor candidates across the United States. The purpose of RPAC is clear: voluntary contributions made by realtors are used to help elect candidates who understand and support their interests. These are not members’ dues; this is money given freely by Realtors to recognize the importance of the political process. The REALTORS® Political Action Committee and other political fundraising are the keys to protecting and promoting the real estate industry. 

Calls for Action

Please notice when you receive a Call for Action email from the National Association of Realtors or New Jersey Realtors, you can take action on important real estate issues with just a few clicks. This is a very effective way to get the Realtor’s voice heard by lawmakers.

You may also text “REALTOR” to 30644 or sign up online to receive NAR Realtor Party mobile text alerts. You will receive a text notification for Calls for Action a few times a year.

Corporate Ally Program

The Corporate Ally Program (CAP) is a powerful partnership between the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and corporate allies to protect, promote, and strengthen the real estate industry. With contributions from state and local Realtor associations, affiliates, Institutes, Societies, and Councils, as well as industry partners, CAP supports federal, state, and local advocacy campaigns and public policy priorities.

This innovative program makes it possible for the real estate corporate family to effectively join and raise funds as a critical revenue source for advocacy efforts at every level of government. CAP is nonpartisan, addressing the real estate community’s most pressing issues.

As the preeminent soft money program for the real estate industry, CAP has the funding and prestige to push successfully and fight against issues that affect us all. NAR uses these voluntary investments to increase our presence in Washington, in state capitals, and town halls across the U.S and to fight for political results that favor our industry and its 1.4 million Realtors.

Contributions to RPAC are not deductible for federal income tax purposes. Contributions are voluntary and are used for political purposes. The amounts indicated are merely guidelines and you may contribute more or less than the suggested amounts provided your contribution is within applicable contribution limits. The National Association of REALTORS® and its state and local associations will not favor or disadvantage any member because of the amount contributed or a decision not to contribute.  You may refuse to contribute without reprisal. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, any request for the refund of a contribution must be made within two (2) business days of the date on which you authorize RPAC to charge you for said contribution. Your contribution is split between National RPAC and the State PAC in your state.  Contact your State Association or PAC for information about the percentages of your contribution provided to National RPAC and to the State PAC.  The National RPAC portion is used to support federal candidates and is charged against your limits under 52 U.S.C. 30116.
