CEO Message: What RPAC Does

As a leading force in our nation’s public policy debates, the REALTORS® Political Action Committee is the only investment dedicated to furthering the interests of real estate professionals in our nation’s capital, state legislatures, and city halls.

Since its inception almost 40 years ago, RPAC has worked to ensure that the real estate industry speaks with a unified voice and continues to provide you with an influential political presence.

Join RPAC.

Whether you are a brand new member or a seasoned veteran, RPAC offers a variety of investment levels so every REALTOR® can become involved in protecting property rights and helping fight burdensome regulations.

RPAC is an investment in good government. RPAC aggressively pursues the election and re-election of candidates for local, state and federal office who stand up and support our key issues.

The NAR uses RPAC to contribute to national candidates, regardless of party, who support the following:

  • Improving short sale and appraisal processes
  • Protecting homeownership tax benefits, such as the MID

In Utah, the UAR supports candidates and advocates on many issues, including the following:

  • Encouraging short sales instead of foreclosures by limiting a lender’s ability to pursue a deficiency judgment to three months.
  • Prohibiting transfer fees and sales tax on services

UCAR supports candidates and issues, including the following:

  • Reasonable sign ordinances that allow for adequate marketing of property
  • Avoiding city ordinances that financially injure property owners
  • Promoting accessory apartment ordinances and the good landlord program
  • Reasonable zoning and other restrictions on land use

What we need is your support.

It is critical that REALTORS be involved with local, state and federa lgovernment. By investing in RPAC, your voice is heard collectively, locally with hundreds of others and nationally with thousands of others. We are stronger when we stand together. One thing we know for sure is that when REALTORS® speak, public officials listen.

Please take the opportunity to begin, or renew, your support of the real estate industry and our commitment to support good government, wise policies, and a stronger community.

Right now, UCAR is offering a special opportunity drawing for Stadium of Fire tickets based on RPAC contributions. Drawing tickets are just a $1 contribution. Check out the details here. Also, make sure to plan ahead to attend our “So long, Barney Frank” RPAC celebration on Aug. 1. Cost is a $20 RPAC contribution, and believe me, it will be worth it. You’ll find more details about “So long, Barney Frank” here.
