REALTORS® Political Action Committee
|
Since 1969 the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) has been promoting the election of pro-REALTOR® candidates across the United States.
During the last federal election cycle alone, RPAC contributed over $12 million to pro-REALTOR® candidates to Congress, making it the number one trade association political action committee in the nation.
Why has RPAC been successful? Because RPAC is not a charity. RPAC is a business. Help us reach our 2014 goal of $81,690 set by the New Jersey Association of REALTORS®. Make Your Contribution Today!
