NAR adheres to pre-established procedures for determining candidates to support in federal elections. The process starts with the state REALTOR® association objectively evaluating candidates and making a recommendation to NAR. The REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) Disbursements Trustees review the state REALTOR® association's recommendation and make a determination whether and how to support the federal candidate.
NAR is committed to following its legally compliant processes to ensure it supports the best candidates that champion property ownership.
