What a fun evening at the GMAR Young Professionals Network (YPN) White Party to benefit the REALTORS Political Action Committee (RPAC)!
The best way to positively impact issues such as property taxes, health care, broadband access expansion, and property rights is through RPAC, a real estate professional's vehicle for political action.
As a real estate professional, RPAC is your PAC. It is also the real estate industry's vehicle for political success. REALTOR® volunteers raise contributions from other members across the state. These funds are then pooled together and contributed on a nonpartisan basis to public office candidates who support housing and real estate interests.
