The DC Association of REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) has endorsed Republican Patrick Mara in the April 23 Special Election for At-Large Member of the DC Council. Mr. Mara is competing against six other candidates to fill the seat vacated by Phil Mendelson, who was elected to Council Chair in November 2012.
Elections affect your communities and businesses. DCAR's Political Action Committee works to review and potentially endorse District candidates best suited to support REALTOR® interests with our resources.
This year's DCAR RPAC Trustees reviewed candidates' questionnaires, conducted face-to-face interviews, and discussed issues such as real estate taxes, the District budget, economic development, education, and ethics reform.
