Annually, the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) trustees spend days upon days fundraising. However, the most important responsibility the trustees have is evaluating selected candidates in Cuyahoga, Portage, and Summit Counties to determine whether they (the candidates) are REALTOR® Party champions worthy of RPAC support. To achieve this, the Trustees evaluate each political candidate’s position on REALTOR® Party issues only, his/her agenda, and electability to determine which campaigns are supported. RPAC is bipartisan in its selection of candidates.
The RPAC Trustees are appointed annually by the Board President to make RPAC decisions. They span the region and are extremely supportive of our advocacy efforts.
Recently, the Trustees of ACAR’s RPAC met over the course of 4 days to review a plethora of General Election campaigns in our jurisdiction.
