Atlanta REALTORS® Political Action Committee (ARPAC)
The Atlanta REALTORS® Political Action Committee (ARPAC) is part of the nation’s largest and most effective bipartisan PAC — RPAC — and serves as a powerful voice for private property rights and real estate professionals across the metro area.
Comprised of REALTOR® members from the Atlanta Commercial Board of REALTORS® and the Atlanta REALTORS® Association, Atlanta RPAC works in partnership with our state and national associations to strategically support candidates at every level of government who champion smart and sustainable development, private property rights, and economic growth.
Your voluntary investment fuels political advocacy, issues mobilization, and the election of leaders who stand up for REALTOR® values. Whether it's defending real estate tax benefits, advancing smart growth initiatives, or stopping burdensome regulations that threaten your livelihood, Atlanta RPAC delivers results.
Every dollar you invest in Atlanta RPAC works in a cooperative system designed to protect your interests at every level of government.
Here’s how it breaks down: 35% of your investment stays right here in metro Atlanta, where the Atlanta REALTORS® PAC supports local candidates and issues. Georgia RPAC also invests 35% to back state-level legislation and leaders who champion the needs of property owners and real estate professionals. The remaining 30% goes to National RPAC, where it helps elect and support members of Congress who advocate for REALTOR® priorities in Washington.
Investing in Atlanta RPAC is the most powerful way REALTORS® can protect their business, influence policy, and ensure the voice of real estate is heard where it matters most.
