REALTORS® Political Action Committee

rpac realtors political action committee

RPAC stands for the REALTORS® Political Action Committee. A PAC is a legal means by which interested individuals with common goals, like a trade association, ban together for the purposes of political action.

What Does RPAC Do?

As a real estate professional, RPAC is your PAC. It is the real estate industries vehicle for political success. REALTOR® volunteers raise voluntary contributions from other members across the state. These funds are then pooled together and contributed on a nonpartisan basis to candidates for public office who support housing and real estate interests. 70 cents of every dollar raised stays in New Jersey for state and local elections, with the remaining 30 cents being transferred to the National Association of REALTORS PAC for contributions to federal candidates.

Facts About RPAC

  • All fund raising efforts and contributions to candidates are administered by a board of RPAC Trustees, representing each local board and all areas of the state.
  • Funds are disbursed on a nonpartisan basis to Democrats and Republicans alike, based on issues and promotion of the REALTORS® legislative agenda.

Why Should RPAC Interest You?

RPAC is a very important business partner to REALTORS® because it means legislative success. Up to 4,000 bills are introduced each session in the state legislature. Elections decide who will be voting on these 4,000 bills. RPAC helps elect the people who write the laws you and your business must live with. Through extensive research and ongoing monitoring, RPAC keeps you informed, involved, and influential in the legislative decisions that are important to you and your business.

Does RPAC Buy Votes?

No! But it does give us access. Candidates and public officials are honorable people whose votes are not for sale. But, by helping elect public policy decision-makers, RPAC assures REALTORS® the opportunity to present our views and be heard. RPAC fully complies with all state and federal election laws.
