Contributors Recognize the Influence
and Support the Power of RPAC
Political Action
Committees (PAC) exist
because of election
funding laws that have
been established that limit
an organization’s ability
to contribute to political
campaigns. Because
MIBOR does not use
dues dollars to support
candidates, the PAC is its
vehicle to do so. RPAC is a
voluntary fund that allows
only members of MIBOR
to pool money together
to endorse candidates.
In doing so, relationships
between the organization
and elected officials are
formed. The relationships
allow REALTORS® to get
information to candidates
on how current laws,
proposed laws and
decisions affect their
industry.
Why RPAC Exists?
Decisions made by government
can have a dramatic impact
on the real estate industry.
RPAC-supported candidates are
actively involved in restructuring
Indiana’s property tax system,
updating comprehensive plans,
liberating sign ordinance
regulations, improving state
and local infrastructure, and
providing affordable health care
insurance for REALTORS®.

and resources. Be a part of the
