RPAC FAQS
What is RPAC?
Why should I care about RPAC?
Why should I contribute to RPAC in addition to my membership renewal?
Federal law prohibits the use of your dues dollars for political purposes. RPAC is funded entirely by the voluntary investments of REALTORS®.
No one is asking you for a contribution, donation, or gift. That implies that you're never going to see your money again. By fighting to protect property rights and keep the government out of your checkbook, RPAC becomes your best investment in your industry, your firm, and your career.
How will my investment be used?
RPAC investments support the election of candidates at the local, state, and national levels who understand and support REALTOR® issues. Georgia RPAC investments help advance REALTOR® priorities in state and local elections, while a portion supports National RPAC's efforts in federal elections. RPAC support is based on a candidate's position on real estate issues, not political party affiliation.
Is my RPAC investment tax deductible?
