Testimonials: Why Voting REALTORS® Matter

Here's what associations said about why it's important to keep REALTORS^® registered and ready to vote for the REALTOR^® Party.

	“Having our REALTORS® politically active on a precinct-level basis takes our efforts in candidate recruitment and grassroots-level political involvement to the next level.”  Justin Y. Allen, Government Affairs Director, Salt Lake Board of REALTORS® and Utah Association of REALTORS® Consultant
	“REALTORS® have elected 90 percent of our endorsed candidates, laying the proper groundwork for legislative success. To ensure that doesn’t change this year, it is more important than ever that we continue electing policy makers who understand and support REALTOR® issues.”  Bryan Wahl, Government Affairs Director, Washington Association of REALTORS®
	“Working with the National Association of REALTORS® we defeated a city proposal to levy a transfer tax on properties that sold for more than $750,000.  Early polls showed voters supporting the tax by 56 percent.  On election day, the campaign managed to reverse the early public opinion poll and defy local expectations.  Santa Fe voters rejected the tax by 54 percent to 46 percent.”  Donna Reynolds, Santa Fe Association of REALTORS®
	“With NAR’s help, we have been able to promote candidates who are friends of the REALTORS®, encourage the worth of registering to vote, and elect those with proven records of supporting the real estate industry. Last November, not only did RPAC-endorsed candidates Bob McDonnell and Bill Bolling win November 3, but so did 77 of our 88 picks for the House of Delegates — giving us a success rate over 87 percent.”  Meredith Cox, Director of Political Communications, Virginia Association of REALTORS®
