ACAR’s RPAC Trustees met over the course of several days to review a number of local election contests in Cuyahoga County, Portage County, and Summit County. Participating candidates responded to several real estate-related questions covering topics including point-of-sale inspections, rental regulations, zoning, housing affordability, fair housing, economic development, and more. No candidates were endorsed, as the association is bipartisan and works with all elected officials. Candidates receiving financial support are listed below.
