About Governmental Affairs
The Governmental Affairs Committee monitors governmental entities impacting the real estate industry in the Omaha area. The subcommittee interviews political candidates and makes recommendations for Nebraska RPAC contributions, and organizes RPAC fundraising efforts. At the direction of the Board of Directors, the committee participates in grassroots lobbying efforts.
RPAC
RPAC is a task force overseen by the Governmental Affairs Committee. RPAC is a voluntary political action committee whose membership consists of REALTORS® and affiliates interested in actively and effectively protecting the real estate industry and the dream of homeownership by participating in government affairs at the local, state and federal levels.
RPAC dollars are contributed to candidates who support real estate and REALTOR® interests. Candidates who are pro growth and pro business most often receive RPAC support. Party affiliation is irrelevant. We are not Democrats or Republicans. We are the REALTOR® Party.
