About the REALTORS® Political Action Committee
WHAT IS THE REALTORS® POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (RPAC)?
RPAC is your best investment tool in protecting our industry by preserving the right to own real estate. Its mission is to identify candidates for elected office on the local, state, and national levels who will work with REALTORS® to promote and protect the American Dream of homeownership. The money to accomplish this comes from voluntary contributions made by REALTORS®.

RPAC History
In 1969, the National Association of REALTORS® formed the Real Estate Political Action Committee to increase the political involvement and influence of its membership. REPAC was maintained and operated separately from NAR. REPAC solicited voluntary contributions from NAR members and pooled the funds to collectively contribute to candidates running for public office.
In 1974, the REPAC was changed to the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) and was made an unincorporated, non-profit, bipartisan standing committee for the National Association of REALTORS®. By 1979, the national RPAC was the largest PAC in the United States in terms of contributions to federal candidates. By 1982, all 50 states and the District of Columbia had executed a cooperative agreement with national RPAC and had state RPACs in operation.
Today, the national RPAC remains an effective legislative advocate for the real estate industry and for the interest of property ownership. Based on the 2002 and 2004 election cycles, RPAC ranked 1st in total campaign contributions to candidates among all political action committees. In addition, NAR was named the 9th most powerful interest group in Fortune magazine’s “Washington Power 25” list, which measured the power and effectiveness of 120 interest groups, labor unions, and trade associations nationwide. NAR’s success today may be attributed to grassroots strength and contributions from embers like you.
