IREM members are eligible to contribute to RPAC - the Realtors^® Political Action Committee since IREM is an affiliate of the National Association of Realtors^®. RPAC has been the largest contributor to federal candidates for the last four election cycles. In the 2006 election cycle, RPAC contributed $4 million directly to candidates – a new record. What's just as important, RPAC is not only powerful, but also bipartisan. Political party is not a criteria—RPAC supports candidates who support Realtors^®.

In addition to direct contributions, RPAC sent out hundreds of thousands pieces of mail to Realtors^®, including IREM members, encouraging them to vote for Realtors^®-supported candidates. In addition, there is the Independent Expenditure (IE) program, which consists of television, radio, and mail urging the general public to vote for the RPAC-supported candidate. The IE program spent over $2.6 million dollars in the 2004 election cycle to support six candidates in highly competitive races, in which all were successful. In 2006, the IE program supported five candidates.

All this political muscle needs your help to keep it competitive and effective. Always remember - RPAC is your best investment in preserving the right to own real estate and protecting our industry.
