The 2015 REALTORS^® Political Action Committee (RPAC) fundraising campaign was a huge success. On behalf of the WRA leadership and staff, I want to thank all WRA members who invested in RPAC or the Direct Giver program as well as the the volunteers and staff who worked so hard to make 2015 a real success. Let’s make 2016 even better!

We are successful because of your grassroots support. When you respond to a Call to Action, it makes a difference. When you take part in the annual REALTOR^® & Government Day in Madison, it makes a difference. When you contribute to RPAC or the Direct Giver program, it makes a difference. Your participation is the difference between our collective success or failure.
