RPAC: Protecting Your Business. Protecting Property Rights.
If real estate is your profession, politics is your business.
Every aspect of the work you do is impacted by state and local policies. From property rights and tax policy to housing supply, landlord regulations, and REALTOR® safety, public policy shapes your ability to serve clients and earn a living.
The REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) ensures REALTORS® have a strong, unified voice at the table.
What Is RPAC?
RPAC is a voluntary, nonpartisan political action committee that supports candidates who understand and champion real estate issues — regardless of party affiliation.
It is:
- Voluntary — Contributions are not required and are not funded by REALTOR® dues.
- Focused solely on real estate policy — RPAC does not engage in social issue advocacy.
- Member-driven — REALTORS® decide how funds are used on issues impacting our industry.
- Colorado-focused — At least 70% of investments stay in Colorado to support state and local issues.
RPAC funds are used strictly for political advocacy purposes in compliance with campaign finance laws and cannot be used for legal settlements, staff payroll, or association operations.
Why RPAC Matters to Your Business
RPAC is not about politics for politics’ sake — it’s about protecting your livelihood.
Through RPAC-supported advocacy efforts, REALTORS® in Colorado have:
- Defeated legislation that would have expanded deceptive trade practice claims and exposed REALTORS® to excessive penalties.
- Worked to increase housing supply through bipartisan efforts like the Colorado American Dream Act.
- Protected REALTOR® safety tools, including identity verification platforms.
- Defended property rights and reduced attempts to impose new civil penalties on housing providers.
- Advocated to preserve the Mortgage Interest Deduction, which would otherwise cost an estimated $8,800 per CAR member in lost income.
Policy decisions directly impact your transactions, your clients, and your income. RPAC helps ensure those decisions are informed by the real estate professionals who work in the field every day.
