TREPAC: Protecting REALTORS®
What is TREPAC?
The mission of TREPAC-Texas REALTORS® Political Action Committee is to raise and disburse funds to promote home ownership, protect real property rights, and increase political awareness. No one protects the real estate industry and your bottom line like we do. TREPAC backs local, state, and national candidates and elected officials who have a proven track record of protecting private-property rights, preserving the dream of home ownership, and supporting the vitality of the real estate industry.
As a political action committee, TREPAC complies with all federal and state campaign contribution laws. TREPAC receives voluntary investments which are used to support candidates for federal, state and local offices. Selected candidates have shown their support for protecting private property rights and promoting a healthy real estate environment.
If real estate is your profession, then politics is your business. TREPAC fights hard to ensure your interests are protected and guarded on the local, state and national level.
TREPAC is the muscle that stands behind the advocacy efforts of the Texas REALTORS® (TAR) and the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). Help advocate for REALTOR® interests by making your investment in TREPAC.
Since 1969, the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) has promoted the election of pro-REALTOR® candidates across the United States. The purpose of RPAC is clear: voluntary contributions made by REALTORS® are used to help elect candidates who understand and support their interests. These are not members’ dues; this is money given freely by REALTORS® in recognition of the importance of the political process. The REALTORS® Political Action Committee and other political fundraising are the keys to protecting and promoting the real estate industry.
Disclaimer: Federal law prohibits soliciting from individuals who are not REALTORS® or CTCAR members. Information disseminated in the public domain about TREPAC might be considered a solicitation, therefore investments received from non-REALTOR®/CTCAR members through this online campaign will be returned.
Contributions are not deductible for Federal income tax purposes. Contributions to the Texas Association of REALTORS® Political Action Committee (TREPAC), the Texas Association of REALTORS® Federal Political Action Committee (TAR FedPAC), and the REALTOR® Political Action Committee (RPAC) are voluntary and may be used for political purposes. The amount indicated is merely a guideline, and you may contribute more or less than the suggested amount. The Association will not favor or disadvantage anyone by reason of the amount of their contribution, and you may refuse to contribute without reprisal by the Association. TREPAC initially receives each contribution, and a percentage of no more than 30% of each contribution is transmitted to RPAC via TAR FedPAC to meet TREPAC’s RPAC annual quota. RPAC supports Federal candidates with the contributions received, and those contributions are charged against your limits under 52 U.S.C. §30116. The percentage forwarded to RPAC each month may be obtained by contacting the TAR FedPAC administrator at 800-873-9155.
