Why We Need You as a RPAC Major Investor
When the National Association of REALTORS® created the REALTOR® Political Action Committee (RPAC) in 1969, it was to ensure that the profession had a voice in federal, state and local governments. It started with the most successful REALTORS® in our profession giving big dollars to get it started. Over time, it became more important to get every REALTOR® to step up and invest in RPAC.
Today, it is important to have both. The number of political action committees across the country has grow significantly in the past 50 years. Adding the Supreme Court Citizens United ruling to the mix, money in politics has grown significantly.
While OKCMAR’s number of RPAC investors has increased, the amount of money needed to effectively represent the profession and industry has also increased. That is why we push for Major Investors. They help close that gap of what is needed.
RPAC Major Investors are an elite and passionate group of REALTORS® whose investments shape the political future of the real estate industry. For going above and beyond, they are rewarded through the RPAC Recognition Program, with specific benefits and accolades that acknowledge their support of RPAC.
