REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC)

Since 1969, the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) has promoted the election of pro-REALTOR® candidates across the United States. The purpose of RPAC is clear: REALTORS® raise and spend money to elect candidates who understand and support their interests. The money to accomplish this comes from voluntary contributions made by REALTORS®. These are not members’ dues; this is money given freely by REALTORS® in recognition of how important campaign fundraising is to the political process. RPAC doesn’t buy votes. RPAC enables REALTORS® to support candidates that support the issues that are important to their profession and livelihood.

Several issues that RPAC has assisted Rhode Island REALTORS® include:

Proposed 2% real estate transfer tax in 2019 defeated

REALTORS® will NOT risk a fine of $5,000 per day for failure to provide a lead disclosure

REALTORS® keep their freedom to work independently

Home sales will not trigger mandatory cesspool replacement

No new climate change restrictions on property owners
