The REALTOR Political Action Committee (RPAC) supports endorsed candidates on the local, state, and national levels.

What does the REALTOR PAC do for you?

•  Insured that Real Estate was exempt from the state Capital Gains Tax.
• While other businesses were stalled on the sideline, REALTORS got approval to work during the COVID-19 lockdown in a way that was safe for you and your clients.
• REALTORS were able to immediately clarify rules around property management and other affiliated services while other industries struggled to understand the regulations they were facing.
• Exempted REALTORS from a 20% increase in the B&O Tax you pay, putting $250-$500 back in the pocket of our members each year.
• Protected REALTORS Independent Contractor Status.
• Beat back a bill that would have required all in-house transactions to involve attorneys for both the seller and the buyer.
• Reformed Condo Liability Laws so that more affordable condominiums can be built.
• Passed a bill that encourages cities to allow responsible density - things like accessory dwelling units, duplexes and triplexes in single family zones and more.
