RPAC
REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC)
The REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) is the best way a REALTOR® can protect their business. RPAC is the only grassroots and issues mobilizing force that exists to protect and promote the tradition of home ownership and real estate investment.
By contributing to RPAC, you are able to support REALTOR® friendly legislators who believe in our industry and believe in protecting private property rights, perserving the American dream of home ownership, fighting for tax reforms and reducing burdensome regulations on our business.
Keeping Informed on REALTOR® Issues
With every media outlet in Michigan reporting news with varying degrees of information, it's hard to keep up to date on the issues affecting the real estate industry. The advocacy page on the MAR Website contains useful information on matters affecting the real estate profession, whether it's specific legislation, or general economic prposals being circulated in Lansing, this is the place to stay informed.
Two Ways to Contribute:
- RPAC1: proceeds are used to support candidates for local or state office only. RPAC1 can accept only REALTOR® member checks, VISA, MasterCard, or cash up to $20.
- RPAC2: proceeds are used to support or oppose ballot question initiatives in which MAR or its' local boards have an interest. RPAC2 can accept both personal and corporate contributions from REALTORS® and Affiliate member checks, VISA, MasterCard, or cash up to $20.
